Hi!<br>
<p>
<i>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Andreas Beck writes:</i><br>
<p>
<i> &gt;&gt; When not using the standalone xscanimage, I think it would be</i><br>
<i> &gt;&gt; *really* useful if a `postview' window popped up after the image</i><br>
<i> &gt;&gt; was scanned.</i><br>
<p>
AB&gt; A simple and useful solution to this would be to be able to<br>
AB&gt; specify a pipe as the filename, just as xv does.<br>
<p>
AB&gt; Specifying "|xv -" would do quite what you want. Other might want<br>
AB&gt; to use "|ppmtogif &gt;bla.gif" ...<br>
<p>
Actually, no. This would only work for the first file that you<br>
scanned, right? Then one would have to restart xscanimage for each<br>
new scan. For my slow PINT backend, I want to avoid such a process.<br>
<p>
The biggest use of a `postview' window would be a to be able to see<br>
each scan attempt until one got it right.<br>
<p>
But, the more I think about it, the more it seems that such an option<br>
would be just too hard to make generic. Even having a `postprocess'<br>
preference would be too hard to get right.<br>
<p>
I guess the current workflow:<br>
<p>
xscanimage&amp;<br>
xv out.ppm&amp;<br>
# Reload out.ppm each time it changes by hitting &lt;enter&gt; on XV.<br>
<p>
is just fine, unless anybody has any other bright ideas.<br>
<p>
Thanks anyway for your comments,<br>
<p>
