&nbsp;&nbsp;Oliver&gt; I think in the moment each scanner vendor does write it's
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Oliver&gt; own GUI. So if they want to have a totally different look
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Oliver&gt; they are free to write their own GUI.

<BR>
<EM>&gt; It is interesting how scanner vendors insist on writing their own
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; frontends. Graphics cards vendors seem to be able to live with the
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; fact that, on Windows, all they can do is add a couple of tabs to the
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &quot;Display Properties&quot; dialog. I think the Graphics card approach is
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; MUCH better because it gives users a (mostly) consistent user
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; interface, while still giving vendors a certain level of
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; differentiation
</EM><BR>
<P>Well, I think what scanner vendors in general want to do is be able to
<BR>
write their own dialog box that the user can use to configure the scanner
<BR>
in magical and scanner specific ways. At the TWAIN level, that sort of
<BR>
thing does make sense, I think. (At the SANE level, it does not as private
<BR>
tags are the way to handle these. I imagine this scanner specific dialog
<BR>
can use the standard SANE protocol to communicate.)
<BR>
<P>Of course, I'm coming from the perspective of a high-performance scanner
<BR>
manufacturer where $0.05 worth of labor won't kill us, but not having
<BR>
the desired convenient access to Nifty Feature X really hurts.
