<P>It doesn't bother me at all, I'm just trying to make sure
<BR>
that the maximum set of options are open!
<BR>
<P>The history goes like this.
<BR>
<P>The hardware reports a set of &quot;preferred&quot; resolutions, but
<BR>
(in the case of the GT7000 certainly) allows you to use any
<BR>
resolution (since the hardware interpolates).
<BR>
<P>In sane 1.0.1, you can choose any resolution you want from the
<BR>
slider, but it is tricky to set the slider accurately.
<BR>
However, if you choose the list, xsane creates a list that
<BR>
does not match the &quot;preferred&quot; resolutions that the scanner
<BR>
reports (because it has no knowledge of them).
<BR>
<P>Then Christian added a patch that forced the resolution to
<BR>
jump to the nearest &quot;preferred&quot; resolution, so losing the
<BR>
&quot;any resolution will work&quot; feature.
<BR>
<P>This causes problems with the list in xsane, because the
<BR>
list resolutions clash with the backend resolutions.
<BR>
<P>Now Karl has changed the resolution list from a constraint
<BR>
to a list, so now it is doubly impossible to choose &quot;any
<BR>
resolution&quot;.
<BR>
<P>To get the best of both worlds is, I realise, difficult.
<BR>
What you would need to do is to return both the constraint
<BR>
so you can use the slider, plus a list of &quot;preferred&quot;
<BR>
resolutions for the xsane list.
<BR>
<P>Having said that, in most cases the list is entirely
<BR>
adequate and using &quot;odd&quot; resolutions is not a routine
<BR>
thing unless you are trying to get a particular sized
<BR>
image.
<BR>
<P>Again, I am not trying to pick fault, just to add my
<BR>
2 pence (UK) worth.
