There's a

  X-BeenThere: sane-devel@alioth-lists.debian.net

header that you might be able to use for filtering purposes if that's
what you're looking for.  Depending on your mail receiving setup you
could even insert [sane-devel] in the header on your end based on that
if you're looking for a visual clue.

# My mail reader, mu4e, inserts a
#
#   List: sane-devel.alioth-lists.debian.net
#
# header somehow :-)  I don't remember the details but I think it uses
# one (or several?) of the List-* headers to do so.

Hope that helps,

Canon ImageClass MF644Cdw

Hi Kip,

If you can build from source, I think I can help you.

I think I can modify the source files for you to test with.

Thank you,
Steve

It's not inconceivable to have a scripted session feature added to XSane in
the future.
Unfortunately, we are currently in progress to bring the code base up to
modern spec and get it properly buildable.
It is indeed an interesting idea and I will bear it mind for a future
enhancement.

Personally, I would probably use a shell script with some other tools like
imagemagick to perform the changes in batch.

Cheers,
Ralph

This sounds good.

For a first step it would help me a lot, if Fax G4 compression could be
added to xsane while saving to TIFF and as second step a before
conversion to 200 dpi.

I prefer Fax G4 because of it's small file size. For a normal text page
it only consumes 20..60 kBytes.

pdftk was removed from Debian repos when Ubuntu 18.04 was branched and 
then a new implementation in Java was added to Debian repos and appeared 
only after Ubuntu 18.04. Download pdftk deb from packages.ubuntu.com

P.S. I had thoughts to build pdftk for Ubuntu 18.04 in my PPA. Which PPA

gscan2pdf v2.5.6 released

gscan2pdf - A GUI to produce a multipage PDF or DjVu from a scan.

http://gscan2pdf.sourceforge.net/

Five clicks are required to scan several pages and then save all or
a selection as a PDF or DjVu file, including metadata if required.

gscan2pdf can control regular or sheet-fed (ADF) scanners with SANE via
libimage-sane-perl, scanimage or scanadf, and can scan multiple pages at
once. It presents a thumbnail view of scanned pages, and permits simple
operations such as cropping, rotating and deleting pages.

OCR can be used to recognise text in the scans, and the output
embedded in the PDF or DjVu.

PDF conversion is done by PDF::API2.

The resulting document may be saved as a PDF, DjVu, multipage TIFF file,
or single page image file.
