Kevin> Sorry if these numbers seem a little weird. I could make the<br>
|
|
Kevin> default be some standard page size, if this actually is the<br>
|
|
Kevin> problem. (the current default is the size of a typical<br>
|
|
Kevin> photograph in Canada; it's what I bought the scanner for<br>
|
|
Kevin> originally and it seemed like a good default at the time :)<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
I don't know how others feel about this, but in my opinion it is best<br>
|
|
to default to scan the _entire_ scan surface by default. The<br>
|
|
experiences with the Microtek and SnapScan backend seem to indicate<br>
|
|
that anything else simply confuses the (naive) user.<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
When a user naively puts something into his/her scanner and starts<br>
|
|
"scanimage" and the resulting image is "too big" I think it will be<br>
|
|
fairly obvious to the user that s/he should be looking for an option<br>
|
|
to reduce the scan area. On the other hand, when artificially<br>
|
|
limiting the scan area by default, the scan may not catch anything of<br>
|
|
the user's image and then the user is most likely to conclude that<br>
|
|
something is broken with the scanner. No?<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Obviously this is just my 2 cents...<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Cheers,<br>
