<EM>&gt; Hi Tom (and all on the SANE list)
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Thanks to Tom for his pointing out that his sane-bh backend DOES support
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; compression.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Why isn't it directly integrated with SANE 1.04 and part of the standard
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; distribution ? The latest sane-bh patches are against 1.03, so I guess
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; there'll be some extra work required to make it go together with 1.04 ?
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; The obvious question arises : When is &quot;the next major version of SANE&quot; due
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; to be released ? It would seem to me (maybe naively) that scanner-based
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; compression is something that has been overlooked in SANE up until now.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Is there any reason that a &quot;reference model&quot; scanner from the SCSI II spec
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; wasn't developed as part of SANE, as a basis for all others to be modelled
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; on ? Obviously every manufacturer likes to &quot;roll their own&quot; feature set,
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; but we seem to be treading on each other's toes by re-inventing at least
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; some portion of the wheel for each new scanner. e.g. with sense code /
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; qualifier decoding for the various error messages such as ADF jamming.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Perhaps it's time to look at redesigning the backends to deal with these
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; e.g. a function called sane_scsi2_asc60_asq00 might actually handle the SCSI
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; 2 ASC60, ASQ00 response code &quot;Lamp failure&quot; for all scanners. Perhaps this
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; also lends itself to other (multi language support ?) also if the SANE API
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; could be extended to cover some sort of SANE_Status to text translation
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; scheme.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Or am I just barking up the wrong tree ???
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; There also seems to be a large discrepancy in the level of diagnostic given
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; in each driver e.g. the Microtek driver seems to be absolutely LOADED with
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; debugging information (over 119 printfs, plus stacks of DBG callouts), but
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; others have very few at all.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Then again, maybe I'm just used to being pampered by pay-ware rather than
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; GPL-ware ;-)
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Is there a list of proposed features (or just a wish list by SANE users) for
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; the next version ?
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Just curious
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Jason (who is subscribed to the list and so doesn't need cc-ing)
</EM><BR>
<P>Jason,
<BR>
<P>in July or August 1999 was a larger discussion on the Sane mailing list
<BR>
about a new version of the Sane standard, including the question about
<BR>
more data formats. Technically quite interesting, I think. Unfortunately
<BR>
the debate ended up in some not very polite arguments. Since this time,
<BR>
nobody dared to pick up the topic again.
<BR>
<P>But I don't think that this outcome is a required feature of GPL
<BR>
developement, only an optional one ;-)
<BR>
<P>Abel
