<P>Hi Stephen,
<BR>
<P>it is not a good idea to add such a hack to the currecnt sane standard.
<BR>
You can not only create a backend that uses such (more or less) &quot;well known&quot;
<BR>
option, you also need frontends that do handle this.
<BR>
And there is much more to take care about.
<BR>
With your suggestion a graphical frontend has to be able to
<BR>
deocde a compressed image data to create a preview from this. Or you
<BR>
will not be able to create a preview from it.
<BR>
<P>Please do not suggest to do such wild things with the sane-1 standard.
<BR>
<P>If I find the time I will go through all the suggestions I collected
<BR>
from the discussions about the sane-2 standard. Then we can spend
<BR>
our time and work to keep the sane-1 standard clean and define and
<BR>
implement a proper sane-2 standard.
<BR>
<P>Bye
<BR>
Oliver
