OOo-2.0.1 (I think), linux. This is something I hadn't tried before, and I discovered a couple of things. On bringing up the device selector and exersizeing the create preview buttom, 3 things: 1: only the first 'make preview' actually works, any repeats seem to load a blank image. 2: Regardless of the device selected in the multi-selector drop down, the device actually accessed is my usb scanner, an epson 1250u. I do have several other srcs, v4l style available, but selecting one of them still exersizes the scanner, as opposed to capturing an image from my tv card or firewire movie camera/whatever else may be plugged in. 3: While one can with some fiddly stuff actions, manage to enter other than the default resolution choices of 50 or 2400 dpi, values in between don't appear to work as they also load blank images. 300 and 600 are very much in demand here, so I'd have to run xsane, save it to a file and load that to get it in 300dpi or 600dpi resolution. 50 dpi is really really course IMO. And I didn't succeed in getting it to load a 2400x image. The scanner went through its routine, but no image resulted. It would have been about a gigabyte at that resolution anyway. So while 2.0.1 seems stable, this particular function appears to need aditional work. -- Cheers, Gene People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word 'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's stupid bounce rules.
