Oliver> I am working an a new frontend that solves this problem, but<br>
|
|
Oliver> it will take some days until I can publish a<br>
|
|
Oliver> pre-alpha-version of it. I think in 1-2 weeks I will have<br>
|
|
Oliver> the first version ready. I will send a mail about it into<br>
|
|
Oliver> the sane-devel-list!<br>

I'm not sure I'd call this "solved". Yeah, it solves the _space_<br>
|
|
issue, but not the complexity issue. There is a danger that SANE<br>
|
|
backend writers go "options nuts" and just make every knob and bit in<br>
|
|
a scanner a separate option without much thinking. In the interest of<br>
|
|
simplicity of use, we should pay attention to user interface design<br>
|
|
issues. Are the options we include really all needed? If not, how<br>
|
|
can we simplify things?<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
(I'm not saying that the space issue shouldn't be solved. Maybe what<br>
|
|
we should do is just add a sentence or two to backend/GUIDE that<br>
|
|
talks about the user interface design issue.)<br>
