A longshot but easy to try: If you are using a USB hub, unplug, wait, replug, or go direct without a hub for a test. My hub recently went crazy, & like you, Xsane started then hung. A power off of the hub fixed it, xsane worked again. Some PCs have internal hubs I think ? A power off reboot worth a try ? PS Xsane really nice, thanks all! My latest favourite is the auto name increment when using a file name such as /home/jhs/tmp/t0101.tiff Cheers -- Julian Stacey, Consultant Systems Engineer, BSD Linux http://berklix.com/jhs/ UK stole 750,000 votes from EU Brits: http://stolenvotes.uk http://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/300059 http://berklix.uk/brexit/#russia Limit Corona: http://berklix.eu/jhs/std/no_bugs.txt
