I do not want to make xsane only a TWAIN backend.<br>
|
||
The point is:<br>
|
||
I think it is good to have a TWAIN standard on unix systems<br>
|
||
and I want to support this idea.<br>
|
||
The twain people want to use the drivers we already have written,<br>
|
||
so from the view of sane we only need to add a TWAIN interface<br>
|
||
to one or all graphical sane frontends.<br>
|
||
So I want to add the TWAIN interface to xsane, that is comparable<br>
|
||
to the gimp-plugin mode of xsane.<br>

I think you understood here something wrong.<br>
|
||
The idea the TWAIN people have is to make availabel a TWAIN<br>
|
||
standard on unix systems to make it easy for application (like Photoshop)<br>
|
||
programmers to make a unix version of their windows/Mac software.<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Of course they can take the code of us and use it, but what they want<br>
|
||
is that the sane team and the twain team do this togehter!<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
To get a sane frontend on windows is only a little side effect of this<br>
|
||
idea.<br>
|
||
