Re: [sane-devel] scanimage hangs at shutdown (Preparing for a sane-backends release)

2015-08-18 Thread Rolf Bensch
Using fork or pthread makes no difference. A sleep at the end of main() works wonders. But not for the other exit() functions. 'scanimage -h' or 'scanimage -A' still hang with the same issue. I suggest to replace atexit and all exit() functions by the existing scanimage_exit() function. Please

[sane-devel] Missing Resolution for Canon MG7550

2015-08-18 Thread Martin
Hi Rolf, The sane backend does not provide all resolutions of the scanner: Xsane offers 75, 150, 300, 600, 1200 and 2400 ppi. Canon's scangear however offers 75, 100, 150, 200, 300, 400, 600 and 1200 ppi. In order to reduce the Moiré effect it is necessary to scan with a resolution which is

Hi Martin, The backend isn't responsible for any artefacts, it handles the scanned data 1:1 to the saved image colour file. The Pixma backend only manipulates the images for grayscale and lineart (1 bit b/w) output formats. OK, there is some loss with image compression algorithms. If you have tro

Hi Martin, Gernot is right. The scanner provides only 75, 150, 300, 600, 1200 and 2400 dpi. If you need other resolutions, you need to post process your images with e.g. imagemagick or gimp. Cheers, Rolf Am 18.08.2015 um 17:11 schrieb Gernot Hassenpflug: > On Tue, Aug 18, 2015 at 9:06 PM, Mart

Hi Rolf, Thank you again for this clarification. I scanned the picture with the GIMP- plugin, so there should not be any data loss. It seams that scangear improves the image automatically, so I will try to accomplish this with GIMP. Cheers, Martin Am Dienstag, 18. August 2015, 22.50:02 schrieb
