Yes- Wilhelm and I have been discussing this off list. It appears that we can get scanbd to be very useful, even without desktop integration via hal. allan On Tue, Nov 9, 2010 at 12:39 PM, Wilhelm wrote: > Hello, > > Am 09.11.2010 17:47, schrieb Johannes Meixner: >> >> Hello, >> >> On Nov 9 09:0

FYI: scanbd (scanner button daemon) can be used in such a case: 1) scanbd uses hal dbus-interface to detect new scanners or scanners that vanished (usb plugoff) 2) scanbd uses dbus to sendout signals if it performs an action (scans and emails an image e.g). This can be used by desktop-applicat
