<EM>&gt; I first noticed this when I tried to implement my own frontend.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Sometimes the image size seemed to be wrong.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Therfore I made a short test with xscanimage1.0.2 and xsane0.59...
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; same problem :-(
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; At least the backend I'm using (plustek V0.36-18)doesn't allow you
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; to set a tlx/tly value that's bigger than the brx/bry value, even
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; if this is only an intermediate state.
</EM><BR>
<P>This is probably legal, the alternative would be for the backend to
<BR>
reset brx/ bry whenever tlx/ tly get too large. We could write an
<BR>
implementation note for backend designers which recommends one way
<BR>
or the other I suppose.
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt; That's very annoying when you want to adjust the scansize in the
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; preview window in xsane/xscanimage.
</EM><BR>
<P>Well, I would think that's probably best fixed in xsane/ xscanimage
<BR>
for now, a quick and easy solution is to set tlx, tly, then brx, bry
<BR>
and then tlx, tly again to be sure.
<BR>
<P>In fact, I think I've seen this problem, but I couldn't swear which
<BR>
backend I've seen the behaviour you describe on.
<BR>
<P>[snipped]
<BR>
<EM>&gt; The result is, that I have to choose the scan area twice (most of the time)
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; to finally get what I want :-(
</EM><BR>
<P>Nick.
