Here are some ideas under discussion for the next major revision of
|
|
the SANE API:
|
|
|
|
o Additional image data types, such as JPEG, MPEG, FlashPix, raw.
|
|
These would be useful for devices that directly generate such
|
|
formats (still cameras, for example). The raw image format could
|
|
be used when no other format is applicable. This would allow to
|
|
at least read and save the data in a file. This would probably
|
|
have to be coupled with adding a function that lets a frontend
|
|
tell the backend what level it supports, something like
|
|
sane_set_level (int max_supported_level).
|
|
[Based on suggestion by Andreas Beck <becka@charon.rz.beck-sw.de>]
|
|
|
|
o Support for other multimedia types, such as audio. This probably
|
|
would also require adding a write() interface to the SANE API.
|
|
[Suggested by Erik Troan <ewt@redhat.com>.]
|
|
|
|
o add support for buttons etc. on the scanner/camera
|
|
|
|
o add support for sending messages from the backend to the frontend
|
|
(e.g. for warm up time)
|
|
|
|
o Change of the version number system (the current standard version
|
|
system is not really used in the SANE distribution).
|
|
|
|
o add more frame types
|
|
|
|
o add alpha channel so that RGBI scanners like Nikon LS-20 can
|
|
send infra-red info back to gimp for post-processing
|
|
|
|
o Might be nice if arbitrarily defined multiple channels, were possible.
|
|
Some way of indicating the number of channels possible, and some
|
|
details (wavelength, bandwidth, ...)
|
|
|
|
o Don't call any other SANE function if sane_init() fails
|
|
(status != SANE_STATUS_GOOD)
