|
|
<P>I'm not sure how many applications are waiting for TWAIN (you mean on
|
|
<BR>
|
|
Unix, right?) -- after all TWAIN will give them a comparatively feeble
|
|
<BR>
|
|
interface not tailored to their problem. An OCR app and a Photo Album
|
|
<BR>
|
|
manager don't care about too many of the same things, and SANE lets
|
|
<BR>
|
|
them each build a UI which is appropriate to their application and
|
|
<BR>
|
|
integrates with it nicely.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>I suppose that TWAIN integration would have simplicity on its side,
|
|
<BR>
|
|
or might do, in theory.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>Neither GNOME nor KDE will take kindly to being told that their apps
|
|
<BR>
|
|
should conjure up a foreign UI to access scanners, not least because
|
|
<BR>
|
|
it goes against basic design sense.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>Your other point (sorry, I deleted it before I wrote this far) is
|
|
<BR>
|
|
very timely because the mist in my crystal ball is starting to clear.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
I will mail you specifically if time frees up enough to write some more
|
|
<BR>
|
|
concrete stuff for SANE 2.0
|
|

<P>Nick.
