<a href="mailto:ewald@pobox.com">ewald@pobox.com</a> said:<br>
<i>&gt; What image file formats do or do not exist has actually got nothing to</i><br>
<i>&gt; do with the topic at hand. SANE is only concerned with the data flow</i><br>
<i>&gt; between scanner, backend, frontend and potentially something in</i><br>
<i>&gt; between. It is of no concern to SANE how the data is stored on file. </i><br>
<p>
I agree.<br>
<p>
I would also like to point out that there needs to be more data formats<br>
that include compressed streams, etc. and there needs to be a way for<br>
drivers and applications to negotiate supported formats.<br>
<p>
I have many scanners that produce (in firmware) JFIF images and I really<br>
really need to pass them as JFIF to applications that support it. We<br>
are talking about production scanning here, tens to hundreds of images<br>
per minute.<br>
<p>
TWAIN and ISIS support this sort of data flow. It matters.<br>
