Hi Rolf,

I'm running straight Debian and it seems that availble version is 1.0.27.
The Ubuntu link you sent shows 1.0.28. I searched on Debian Packaged and
they don't seems to have something more recent :-/

Any idea where I can find it? Else I will just build from the sources.

Thanks,

JMS

Re: [sane-devel] Missing list subject header

2019-09-12 Thread Ulf Zibis
Hi Torfinn,

yes, using a professional mail client, this can work.

One problem is server-side filtering when using IMAP. For example my
email provider (one of the biggest in Germany) doesn't support filtering
on arbitrary header fields such as the List-* headers,

Another problem is for people, who only temporarily subscribe to the
list, just to solve one single problem. For them it's more convenient,
to look for the readable / visual "crutch" in the subject line than to
setup a special subfolder + filter or even implement some magic.

Finally the filtering on List-* headers doesn't work, when people use
the "Answer All" function. In this case there are no List-* headers in
the resulting message.

Olaf pointed to the
List-*
headers. And rightly so - this is what your mail program / client
should be filtering on. All sane (no pun intended) mailing lists have
been using that for about a decade (or more) now.
BTW, "filtering" in this case means moving mailing list post from your
normal mail "inbox" / incoming mail view to a folder / view dedicated
to a specific mailing list so it doesn't clutter you normal, day to
day important mail view.

Learn how to setup your mail client to do this - there is probably a

Oh, and for those rare individuals who needs a readable / visual
"crutch" in the subject line: please implement it yourself, based on
the relevant List-* header.

Much thanks for you input. Well I think I don't need encrypting, so it's
irrelevant for me. Anyway I think, it would be a nice idea to add pdftk
to the PPA.

Hi JMS,

What SANE version is installen on your system? You need version 1.0.29.

If you're using Ubuntu or an Ubuntu clone, you can use my ppa to update
SANE: https://launchpad.net/~rolfbensch/+archive/ubuntu/sane-git .

If you have another Linux OS, please install SANE as described in
INSTALL.linux (http://www.sane-project.org/docs.html).

Please try to scan all dpi resolutions and after this the document feeder.

Hope this helps.

Hi Kip,

As Olaf mentioned before, your scanner is implemented in stable SANE version 
1.0.28 (http://www.sane-project.org/sane-backends.html#S-PIXMA), but not tested 
yet.

If you're using Ubuntu or an Ubuntu clone, you can use my ppa to update SANE: 
https://launchpad.net/~rolfbensch/+archive/ubuntu/sane-git .

If you have another Linux OS, please install SANE as described in INSTALL.linux 
(http://www.sane-project.org/docs.html).

If your scanner can be found by SANE, please test scanning all dpi resolutions 
and the document feeder with single/multiple pages, single side and duplex. 
Maybe you want to test WiFi support.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I'm an owner of Epson Perfection V330 Photo scanner (V37 analog, production of 
2013). It worked then and works now on proprietary drivers from Epson:

http://support.epson.net/linux/en/imagescanv3.php

You can find the version that fits (the first link with version 3.59.2 is the 
driver, the second with version 2.30.4 is its frontend, ImageScan) here

https://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/searchModule

Just enter "V39" into the search field.

It is enough to install the drovers to get the full scanner functionality.

However, Epson proposes the driver packages for Ubuntu 16.04 and above only.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Yuri

pdftk is only necessary if you want to encrypt PDFs. Otherwise, you can
ignore the warning.

The package is called pdftk-java in Debian now, for the reasons that
Mikhail gave. i.e.

sudo apt install pdftk-java

if you have Debian Buster or Ubuntu Cosmic or newer.

Otherwise, Mikhail's solution should work, as would upgrading to a newer

Housefires and wars are significant. This is just a change to an email

I'm going to turn the feature back on now, and we can see if posts

My dear illustrious Team Members,

I am planning to buy a Scanner. Only Epson Flatbed scanner appears
viable, as in India it seems only Epson has a very good quality of
service. I have had a very negative experience with Canon.

In amazon.in, I find that Epson Perfection V39 Scanner is mostly sold.
There are no HP product at the nearby price range.

However, I see at the Sane page:

It is probably developed by the manufacturer itself. The question is:
will it work for a given Linux system? I have an old Ubuntu system and

There's a

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.

Hope that helps,



I use maildrop a pre-filter to put incoming messages into appropriate

if it would work for you . .

As long as you've also updated the current configure (by running

Indeed, sensible-browser is distro-specific, as are www-browser and
x-www-browser.  Being able to configure the browser would be nice.

ACK.  IIRC, xdg-open is a freedesktop.org utility and would generally be
available on Linux systems.  It only works inside desktop sessions so is
similar to Debian's x-www-browser.  It cannot be used in CLI sessions.
But then again, XSane isn't very useful in those either :-)

great.  I prefer not having to troubleshoot distro-specific issues.
Distro maintainer's can upstream their issues if it's really ours :-)

Perhaps Ulf should submit an issue?  Makes it easier not to forget about
this :-)

Hope this helps,

You shouldn't have to modify anything in sane-backends-1.0.28.

I think yes but haven't looked at the code.

XSane hasn't received much development since its last release in 2013.

If it wouldn't have been for the SANE Project, XSane would likely have
died a silent death after its sole developer took the website off-line
after the GDPR went into effect.  The SANE Project has "adopted" XSane
and we're blowing off some dust and catching up with changes.  I, for
one, am very glad that someone has stepped up to maintain XSane again.

Thanks, Ralph!  Keep up the good work.

Patches welcome :-)
