This pages is for discussion of ideas for GnomeScan

1. Profile Support

• Option profiles like "Text", "Photo Archive", "OCR", ...
• Allows defining a set of options to speed up and ease repetitive scanning tasks

2. Porting

• Port to win32
  • implement a TWAIN backend
  • making GSane optional at build time
  • Migrate to waf ?
• Port to Mac OS X
• Provide a TWAIN backend

  • TWAIN 2.0 is available for linux : http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=180588 (LGPL)

  • However is there any TWAIN data source for Linux ?
  • TWAIN-linux architecture is actually similar to SANE : a shared object loading all drivers (.ds which are shared object too) but is less configurable than SANE (see /etc/sane.d/ ).
