Peter&gt; David, A quick SANE question... Is there any way to force an<br>
Peter&gt; option reload after finishing a read operation?<br>
<p>
No, reads are assumed to be "side-effect" free (as far as the options<br>
are concerned).<br>
<p>
Peter&gt; On my DC-25 backend, the allowable range of one of the<br>
Peter&gt; options (the number of images stored in the camera) is<br>
Peter&gt; modified by the the read, if the read involves taking a new<br>
Peter&gt; picture. So, I would to be able to reload the options at<br>
Peter&gt; that point.<br>
<p>
OK, got it.<br>
<p>
Peter&gt; Oh yes, another one, though I suspect I know the answer to<br>
Peter&gt; this one. Is there any way for a backend to put up it's own<br>
Peter&gt; dialog boxes for warnings or confirmations?<br>
<p>
Nope, not at this point. Printing messages wouldn't be hard to do,<br>
but dialog boxes are a bit trickier because sometimes there is no user<br>
to dialog with. What exactly did you have in mind?<br>
<p>
As a general comment, I fully expect that we'll have to make some<br>
adjustments to the SANE API to better support digital cameras. I'd<br>
suggest that, for now, you hack around problems you encounter as your<br>
progresses. Then, once we're confident we understand what's needed to<br>
support cameras well, we can then add the missing stuff to the API.<br>
Sounds reasonable?<br>
