Am I fighting a losing battle here?<br>
<p>
Why is it so desirable to have<br>
<p>
This..... Instead of this...<br>
<p>
SANE_FRAME_RAW SANE_FRAME_G3<br>
SANE_FRAME_RAW SANE_FRAME_G4<br>
SANE_FRAME_RAW SANE_FRAME_JFIF<br>
SANE_FRAME_RAW SANE_FRAME_RGBI<br>
SANE_FRAME_RAW SANE_FRAME_TEXT<br>
<p>
How about...<br>
<p>
SANE_FRAME_RAW SANE_FRAME_RGB<br>
SANE_FRAME_RAW SANE_FRAME_GREY<br>
SANE_FRAME_RAW SANE_FRAME_BLUE<br>
<p>
Under what circumstances is it preferable NOT to know what kind of data<br>
we are dealing with? Are default: labels in switch blocks suddenly being<br>
taxed by the US government?<br>
<p>
Maybe I'm being REALLY REALLY STUPID here, but I can't see any down side<br>
to knowing what the **** was in the data stream before someone like<br>
Oliver decides to turn it into a JPEG and save it in a file.<br>
<p>
If you have some genuinely unexplained data, which can't be classified,<br>
what makes you think anyone wants to process it anyway?<br>
<p>
