OK, I'm just uploading sane-0.4. It has a first implementation of the<br>
Connectix color QuickCam backend. It works rather well already,<br>
though the b&amp;w supports needs to be finished up and tested (I only<br>
have a color camera). Of course, there are the usual loose ends to be<br>
tied up (see TODO file), but the basic functionality is there.<br>
<p>
Tristan, you may want to check the two minor changes I made to xscan<br>
(they're documented in ChangeLog). They where necessary since the<br>
QuickCam specifies its width/height in pixels (not mm) and to ensure<br>
that xscan never displays any inactive options. Hope I got that code<br>
right.<br>
<p>
Also, there were a number improvements to the command-line frontend.<br>
I consider it full-featured now, but if you can think of any<br>
improvements, let me know (yeah, the man-pages are still missing, I'm<br>
afraid...).<br>
<p>
It's all at:<br>
<p>
<a href="ftp://ftp.azstarnet.com/pub/linux/axp/sane/sane-0.4.tar.gz">ftp://ftp.azstarnet.com/pub/linux/axp/sane/sane-0.4.tar.gz</a><br>
<p>
<i>&gt;From the NEWS file:</i><br>
<p>
New in 0.4:<br>
<p>
* A first implementation of the Connectix quickcam backend now exists.<br>
At present, only color cameras are known to work, though it shouldn't<br>
be too hard to get the b&amp;w versions to work as well.<br>
<p>
* Improvements for the command-line frontend scan:<br>
<p>
** Option settings are now applied _before_ the help info is printed.<br>
This allows to see what the available options are with certain options<br>
in effect.<br>
** It can now deal with SANE_INFO_RELOAD_OPTIONS.<br>
** It now prints the current option values in the help message (except for<br>
vectors).<br>
<p>
Enjoy,<br>
