Jeff&gt; How do I get advanced options to show up in xcam/xscanimage as<br>
Jeff&gt; a separate page? The screen dump on the web site shows a GUI<br>
Jeff&gt; with index tabs showing advanced options. I tried doing what<br>
Jeff&gt; the other drivers did -- had a group with the<br>
Jeff&gt; SANE_CAP_ADVANCED capability set, but it just makes the<br>
Jeff&gt; options in the group invisible when running xcam. Xscanimage<br>
Jeff&gt; does allow controlling if the advanced options are shown. Am<br>
Jeff&gt; I missing something or does this feature not work? (I'm using<br>
Jeff&gt; Sane 0.5 by the way, I haven't upgraded to 0.6).<br>
<p>
For a while, I used a notebook widget to display standard and advanced<br>
options. Then I decided I didn't like that because when you saw the<br>
advanced options, you couldn't see the standard ones and vice versa.<br>
I fixed xscanimage accordingly, but have not had time to fix xcam yet<br>
(actually, there is a bug in gtkglue.c as well: by default, it should<br>
display advanced options so that frontends that don't want to know<br>
about the difference between advanced and standard options will still<br>
show all controls.<br>
<p>
Do you have a strong preference for using a notebook widget? If so,<br>
could you explain a little what you would like to do with it? I'm<br>
certainly open to suggestions for changing the user-interface, if<br>
there are good reasons.<br>
<p>
Jeff&gt; How do I handle a function that returns a non-graphical<br>
Jeff&gt; response from the camera (e.g. ask the camera to return the<br>
Jeff&gt; number of stored images or battery status)?<br>
<p>
Read-only options. It's not something we make use of with scanners<br>
very often, but for cameras, it definitely makes sense and we probably<br>
ought to add a few well-known options to the documentation (so every<br>
camera will use the same set of options for # of images etc.).<br>
