Yes, mostly. Only very old (not yet really working) Dual Scan I scanners do not have the proper bits set. But I need overwrite marks in my device list for those anyway, thus I "know" they are film as well. > i like 'ADF Front' instead of just 'ADF', i think it is more consistent. > but i do like your ordering better, so i think i shall do this: > > "Flatbed|ADF Front|ADF Back|ADF Duplex" Well, on non duplex devices "ADF Front" might be misleading and people search for the Back option? Somehow I like just ADF. > and if a fujitsu ever gets film, i would change 'Flatbed'. I'm right now thinkin where an sepearte transparency switch is not too bad, because I heared that there "might be" ADFs "some time soon" that are able to scan transparencies. Since the devices do not exist yet I do not know whether this mode will just work due placing the lamp where it always shines thru transparency or whether it has to be enabled. In the later case a seperate "enable transparency" switch might be better than the transparency source ... > >> can you change avision to the same? > > > > My best client will scream, but yes ,-) > > haha- you getting paid for this? Not for the "for the sake" changes like strings of modes, but for certain parts of the coding, yes - these days. When you look carefully on our homepage you will also see that due to our relationship from the Linux work, Avision contracted us to do the OS X TWAIN driver. (but so far the balance of that work is not that black). Linux work is more profitable than OS X stuff (so far for us). Yours, -- Ren?
