<EM>&gt; Of course, a scanner vendor would want/need to provide a custom front
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; end to be able to make use of these options. However, I think this is
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; different from simply trying to write a fancy-looking custom frontend
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; for the standard SANE options, so I think we should keep them
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; separate.
</EM><BR>
<P>Right.
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) how to customize the look of the scanner dialog
<BR>
<P>Right and I think this is not a concern of SANE, but of the higher layer
<BR>
that is TWAIN/Linux. All that sane needs (and already supports) is a
<BR>
means to describe that option for automatic dialog generators, which
<BR>
aren't expected to make it look as pretty as a custom one.
<BR>
<P>The SANE method is similar to (but more general then) the ISIS method.
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) how to provide an &quot;escape&quot; or &quot;pass-through&quot; mechanism that
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;permits for more extensibility (and how to do this without
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;completely breaking interoperability)
<BR>
<P>Right. SANE has already got that (to a degree) but only lacks an improved
<BR>
means of sending different image formats. I believe a mechanism was proposed
<BR>
in the last big discussion that supported this in a way that did not burden
<BR>
generic applications.
<BR>
<P>In a nutshell, a new well known image format type was discussed, and the
<BR>
SANE driver requireded to support a small subset [grayscale, RGB] in
<BR>
addition to any other formats it adds. Simple and elegant. I think we
<BR>
all agreed it was nifty, and will certainly accommodate the needs of
<BR>
any scanner I can think of, without complexifying things like xscanimage.
