Hi,
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt; &gt; &gt; When scanning the first page, half the data goes in this large buffer,
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; &gt; then when the frontend asks for another page it comes out of the
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; &gt; buffer very quickly.
</EM><BR>
[...]
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt; &gt; That sounds reasonable. But can I be sure that front-ends will support
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; reading multiple pages one after the other with no call to ..._close()
</EM><BR>
[...]
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt; You can't be sure, but you can be quite sure that at least the graphical
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; frontends won't call sane_close() between scans.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; On the whole, it's just an insufficiency in the current SANE Standard.
</EM><BR>
<P><P>Let's do it as suggested then. I'll introduce a switch that's called
<BR>
&quot;duplex&quot; and can be set to on or off; when &quot;on&quot;, it will allocate a
<BR>
chunk of memory upon starting the scan and deliver that at the next
<BR>
request for image acquisition. - Would it make sense store the current
<BR>
settings along with that buffer, and only deliver the second page if a
<BR>
subsequent request is made *without changing* the settings (dpi,
<BR>
window size etc.)?
<BR>
<P>I was thinking of maybe adding a third setting, &quot;duplex=hack&quot; or some
<BR>
such, where the resulting image would be exactly twice as high (or
<BR>
twice as wide) as requested, and it would contain the front and back
<BR>
pages above each other (or next to each other).
<BR>
<P>That would not make a lot of sense with the graphical front-ends, but
<BR>
somebody using &quot;scanimage&quot; could then use that option and easily
<BR>
separate the images with pnmcut afterwards.
<BR>
<P>Would I run into trouble trying to return an image that is twice as
<BR>
big as originally requested by the front-end?
<BR>
<P>Bye
<BR>
Frederik
