I have just included another "option nut" into the microtek2 backend for<br>
|
|||
|
|
the next release, but it is configurable in the configuration file,<br>
|
|||
|
|
whether this option is active or not. Normally I would not have included<br>
|
|||
|
|
this option, but there are users, who asked for it.<br>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
I am planning to do so for some other, already existing, options, too.<br>
|
|||
|
|
The primary reason for doing this was indeed the height of the<br>
|
|||
|
|
xscanimage window, but this discussion shows, that useability issues <br>
|
|||
|
|
should play a greater role.<br>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
So, is this a reasonable way to go, to make it configurable, whether<br>
|
|||
|
|
options are active, with a "simple" set of options activated per default ?<br>
