[sane-devel] gscan2pdf 1.8.3 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 libsane-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. Changelog for 1.8.3: * + libimage-sane-perl frontend - scanimage-perl and scanadf-perl frontends Closes bug #219 (Rescan for devices not working properly). * Fixed bug writing multipage hOCR files. * Fixed bug switching between Tesseract and Cuneiform (particularly for German). signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature -- sane-devel mailing list: sane-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sane-devel Unsubscribe: Send mail with subject "unsubscribe your_password" to sane-devel-requ...@lists.alioth.debian.org
[sane-devel] Maybe I am on the wrong list ...
Dear listmembers, maybe I am on the wrong list because my problem might be application - specific, however. I have set up a HP 7400C scanner, supported by the avision backend, it is detected and working. So far, so good. Now, if I scan a black and white printed text with xsane and adjust all parameters to default, 300dpi, Gray, contrast and brightness set to 0, (=100%), the resutls are nice quality scans, black is black, background is white. In contrast, attempting to do the very same with scanimage, calling: scanimage --mode Gray --contrast 0 --brightness 0 --resolution 300 > outfile the resulting picture in "outfile" (same printed text as above) is very bright, grey rather than black. Modifying brightness is making the result worse, modifying contrast as well. I cannot achieve the same result as with xsane - what makes me wonder as I had had expected to work the same way Any ideas / hints for me? I could provide resulting scans for explanation, however, I think I cannot upload anything. Regards, many thanks for your efforts Dieter Jurzitza -- --- Dr.-Ing.

[sane-devel] SANE Perl bindings Image::Sane released
I have written new Perl bindings for the SANE API. Please find them at: https://metacpan.org/pod/Image::Sane These Perl bindings for the SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) Project allow you to access SANE-compatible scanners in a Perlish and object-oriented way, freeing you from the casting and memory management in C, yet remaining very close in spirit to original API. They are based on, and almost identical to, my original bindings: https://metacpan.org/pod/Sane which the CPAN administrators have been asking me to rename for literally years. I updated the Perl API (for error handling) at the same time, but Image::Sane is otherwise almost identical to Sane.

Re: [sane-devel] [janitorial] CI now builds snapshots with "funny" versions

And that bugs me. Maybe I should change > that cron job to pull the tarballs from GitLab.com ... Well, I did just that and ran it manually without any hitch. There is now an extra snapshot[1] that is made the same way we roll our release tarballs. [1] http://sane-project.org/snapshots/ This snapshot corresponds to the most current git checkout that passed the CI build at GitLab.com. The updated make-git-snapshots.sh should (famous last words!) run without any trouble and produce no output. If, however, you start receiving mail from your daily sane cronjob, just forward it to me and I'll fix it up.
