Hi there !<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Again, I'm back after a short busy time.<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Last night, while waiting for my eyes to close, I got a new idea - Here<br>
|
||
it is :<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The Umax Astra 610S scanner have a "scan" button in front of it. I think<br>
|
||
it is not the only one, but I don't know. According to the documentation<br>
|
||
I get from Umax, the scanner return a flag in request sense if this<br>
|
||
button was pressed since last request sense. Some other devices might<br>
|
||
have a "scan button", including digital camera that allow the user to<br>
|
||
shot and take a photo.<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
All this put together, I think it would be nice to have a backend option<br>
|
||
(--userstart=1) that tell the backend to wait for a user action on the<br>
|
||
device before starting a scan. Of course, backends that doesn't support<br>
|
||
this and devices that lack a "scan button" would ignore this option. <br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Another frontend option (--outputfile=foobar%d.pnm) might allow the<br>
|
||
frontend to request scan "forever", with a different output file<br>
|
||
everytime. I think this go the same way as Oliver "xerox" frontend.<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Yes, I know, there is no way to stop such a frontend, and all other scan<br>
|
||
options (width, resolution, ...) can only be changed from the<br>
|
||
keyboard/mouse. But on the other hand, one can scan the 476 150x100<br>
|
||
photos of her travel on the moon just by pressing a single button.<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Any comments about this ?<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Nicolas.<br>
