<i>&gt; Peter&gt; David, A quick SANE question... Is there any way to force an</i><br>
<i>&gt; Peter&gt; option reload after finishing a read operation?</i><br>
<i>&gt; No, reads are assumed to be "side-effect" free (as far as the options</i><br>
<i>&gt; are concerned).</i><br>
<p>
Hmm - as reads are normally "expensive" operations, too (compared to<br>
an option setting), we might simply want to re-read all options after<br>
a read ...<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; Peter&gt; Oh yes, another one, though I suspect I know the answer to</i><br>
<i>&gt; Peter&gt; this one. Is there any way for a backend to put up it's own</i><br>
<i>&gt; Peter&gt; dialog boxes for warnings or confirmations?</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; Nope, not at this point. Printing messages wouldn't be hard to do,</i><br>
<i>&gt; but dialog boxes are a bit trickier because sometimes there is no user</i><br>
<i>&gt; to dialog with. What exactly did you have in mind?</i><br>
<p>
Yes. For scripting applications, there should not be "unpredictable"<br>
questions popping up. I got very upset at several windows programs<br>
doing that, when I tried to make macro-recorder scxripts for them <br>
for a few common tasks one of my customers has to do ...<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; As a general comment, I fully expect that we'll have to make some</i><br>
<i>&gt; adjustments to the SANE API to better support digital cameras. I'd</i><br>
<i>&gt; suggest that, for now, you hack around problems you encounter as your</i><br>
<i>&gt; progresses. Then, once we're confident we understand what's needed to</i><br>
<i>&gt; support cameras well, we can then add the missing stuff to the API.</i><br>
<i>&gt; Sounds reasonable?</i><br>
<p>
Yes ... there is already that "transparent data returned" change pending,<br>
and we should check further on what implications such backends may bring<br>
and then bring out SANE API 1.1 or something.<br>
<p>
