Sorry for quoting so much, just wanted to make sure I was understood...<br>
<p>
Oliver, you keep saying "mode", but I think you mean "source". "mode" is<br>
the scan mode (ie, color, lineart, etc..) and even you are using it<br>
this way in the umax backend. I think that's what's causing part of the<br>
confusion.<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; The idea is very simple:</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; We define a well known option "mode" that defines the scanmode</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; such as "Flatbed", "Transparency Adapter" or "Automatic Document Feeder".</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; I wonder if this is short-sighted? Can you explain what it's for?</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; Regardless it should probably be called something other than "mode".</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; It is called mode because it already is used this way by most backends,</i><br>
<i>&gt; it is defined in saneopts as SANE_NAME_SCAN_MODE "mode"</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; option mode is a string list with texts like "Flatbed", "Transparancy Adapter"</i><br>
<i>&gt; or "Automatic Document Feeder". If the user selects</i><br>
<i>&gt; "Automatic Document Feeder" the scanner activates the ADF.</i><br>
<i>&gt; For most scanners this means that the scanhead is not moved at all if</i><br>
<i>&gt; you start a scan. Instead the paper is moved over the fixed scanhead.</i><br>
<p>
<i>&gt; Oliver</i><br>
