<P>I don't think it's essential that find-scanner is a SCSI tool, this is
|
|
<BR>
|
|
just a coincidence. When it was written the majority of supported
|
|
<BR>
|
|
hardware was SCSI, and "discovery" of PP devices was hard.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>sane-find-scanner should _aim_ to detect most common hardware such as
|
|
<BR>
|
|
USB scanners (I went shopping with my parents at the ~$100 pricemark
|
|
<BR>
|
|
this Christmas and EVERY scanner was USB) and renaming it because of
|
|
<BR>
|
|
the features it has today seems short-sighted.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>On Linux for example, /proc/bus/usb/devices contains a list of stuff
|
|
<BR>
|
|
attached to the USB bus. Even though scanners apparently don't belong
|
|
<BR>
|
|
to a fixed class and may use several drivers, we can eliminate a lot
|
|
<BR>
|
|
of possibilities by parsing this list. If the user doesn't _have_
|
|
<BR>
|
|
/proc/bus/usb we can remind her to install USB support (cf SCSI generic)
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>I don't know how the list feels about writing explicit detection for
|
|
<BR>
|
|
vendor/product IDs because obviously that's a lot of maintenance work
|
|
<BR>
|
|
and if someone from the USB camp wants to say that my suggestion is
|
|
<BR>
|
|
unworkable that's fair - they know this ground better than I do.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>Otherwise this sounds like a good project for someone new to SANE but
|
|
<BR>
|
|
with a bunch of USB hardware kicking around. The "sane-find-scanner"
|
|
<BR>
|
|
rename still sounds good to me.
|
|

<P>Nick.
