Thank you for the clarification -- I had forgotten about GraphicsMagick
(a "fork" of ImageMagick). GraphicsMagick should be superior for a
stable solution, and I should redo my tests using it.

I have not dug into the code of xsane. I suspect a command-line or
script option could be "slapped in" relatively easily, but a useful
graphical user interface would likely be much harder. I haven't looked
for a list or forum for xsane issues, but that might be a good place to
start.

Oh, and of course it always helps to be completely familiar with the
existing software -- there are details and helpful hints at
http://www.xsane.org/

P.S.: There are other front-ends to SANE, but xsane has always been very
stable and predictable. I haven't looked at any other options lately,
but one of them is called quiteinsane and I see it's still available in
Ubuntu. I'm mentioning it because it's always possible another project
has the features we are looking for.
