Hello,
I tested xsane-0.11 on linux 2.0.32 with net backend and a local HP
PhotoSmart.
I had some crashes if I browse through the options at different places.
Especially if I unswitch RGB default. It seems this depends on the
history what is done earlier. But normally it works. 0.10 seems to be
more stable.
I also compiled xsane for my Unixware Version - it works.
But the lines of code containing the C++ syntax with // as comment
increase from version to version. For portability if not using gcc this
takes time to alter and compile.
Very nice that the preview window follow the gamma, bightness ...
changes.

At least one proposal for an enhencement to xsane. Unix like OS have the
powerfull
element of pipes. Xsane must use temp files for copy to lp anywhere. So
it would increase flexibility if xsane would detect that stdout is a
pipe, disable filename window and scan button and write ppm data to
stdout. It should be done in half an hour.
I made me a version of xscanimage with this behavior.
