Hello I tried the software with the apple backend. Very impressive... My<br>
compliments!<br>
<p>
Some minor problems<br>
<p>
1) Whenever I run it it gives me the main window with an horizontal<br>
scrollbar. If I try to resize the window it doesn't let me.<br>
<p>
2) The gamma, contrast, and brightness settings at the main window do<br>
not have balloon help and I really really need it because I don't which<br>
is what :-)<br>
<p>
3) In the options (this may be apple specific) I can crash it easily by<br>
trying to drag the rulers in order to select the scan area. I have had<br>
this kind of bug with xscanimage also. I tried to debug it but the SEGV<br>
happens deep in the GTK code and frankly, I don't have a clue about GTK.<br>
If you are interested in investigating this bug you can do it very<br>
easily by editing the apple.h file<br>
<p>
/*<br>
Warning: if you uncomment the next line you 'll get<br>
zero functionality. All the scanner specific function<br>
such as sane_read, attach and the others will return<br>
without doing anything. This way you can run the backend<br>
without an attached scanner just to see if it gets<br>
its control variables in a proper way.<br>
<p>
TODO: This could be a nice thing to do as a sane config<br>
option at runtime. This way one can debug the gui-ipc<br>
part of the backend without actually has the scanner.<br>
<p>
*/<br>
<p>
#if 0<br>
#define NEUTRALIZE_BACKEND<br>
#define APPLE_MODEL_SELECT APPLESCANNER<br>
#endif<br>
<p>
Other possible values for APPLE_MODEL_SELECT are {APPLESCANNER,<br>
ONESCANNER, COLORONESCANNER}. Use the last one to get a backend with<br>
lots and lots of options to see if your frontend behaves properly (or my<br>
backend behaves improperly :-)<br>
<p>
4) The responsiveness of the computer was very good during the scan.<br>
This was not the case with the xscanimage of the sane-075.pre version.<br>
However the scanner makes noise like<br>
<p>
gr..gr..gr..gr..gr..gr<br>
instead of<br>
grrrrrrrrrrrrgrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr<br>
<p>
Note with my scsi host adapter the computer !!!shouldn't!!! so much<br>
responsive. However the overall scanning speed is not terrible low.<br>
<p>
It empties the buffer too fast is my guess. Unless something has changed<br>
since sane-0.75 in sane-scsi-read you must be using a really small<br>
buffer. I 'll check with the xscanimage tonight I 'll be back on this<br>
topic.<br>
<p>
<p>
Again congratulations for a fine piece of software...<br>
<p>
MF<br>
