Thank you Simon, the --batch-script feature looks very flexible. It almost does the trick:
scanimage --batch --batch-script <(echo) | tesseract - - Unfortunately, it runs just a little too early. The script executes just before the temporary image file is renamed. Tesseract wants to know about the final filename after it exists. My very first implementation attempt didn't work; the emitted filename somehow ended up in the image data. Is there a problem with scanimage writing to standard output? if (new_interoperability_feature) fprintf(stdout, "%s\n", path); I ultimately hope to make scanimage and tesseract work together nicely for everyone. So any suggestions or advice are appreciated. Cheers, Jeff
