This IS possible, but only for TWAIN sources which comply with some of<br>
|
||
the most recent additions to the TWAIN standards (in relative terms,<br>
|
||
the original TWAIN is now quite old). In particular when I asked about<br>
|
||
this I was told that few if any mass-market scanners have the necessary<br>
|
||
TWAIN features to do SANE-on-TWAIN. Such "high-end" features are<br>
|
||
unfortunately optional :(<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
However, the other way around TWAIN-on-SANE would be comparatively easy<br>
|
||
to do, and would work with every existing SANE backend, though not<br>
|
||
necessarily to maximum advantage. We can use TWAIN 1.7 (or whatever)<br>
|
||
to expose SANE options to intelligent applications, and provide XSane<br>
|
||
like GUI for our default frontend to the source.<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
All this requires a lot of effort, but it would promote both SANE and<br>
|
||
TWAIN as a cross-platform solution for image aquisition.<br>
