[sane-devel] HP5590 and scanbd button recognition
Ops a missing important info: The patch is for hp5590.c in the git repo https://gitlab.com/sane-project/backends.git tag RELEASE_1_0_25. I've choose that version because is the last in debian stable.

[sane-devel] HP5590 and scanbd button recognition
Hi Ilia et all attached to this message is the patch (hope mailman engine does not strip it out :)) Basically exports all missing options as buttons and fix a small problem I've found interacting with scanbd. I've tested during the weekend and last days (as real user , I missed this feature for two months after debian upgrade) and it seems to work. Sometime the buttons are less responsive (it depends from scheduled calls to options made by scanbd) Probably a better approach could be a separate polling thread (maybe a next version :)) but for now is quite usable. I've tested with normal sane application too and with scanbm (for network scanning and desktop shared scanner) and no problems at all Sorry for some erratic indentation.. I've used a "week-end-found-bad-editor" that mixed up tab and blank spaces Let me know Happy PI Day ;) Damiano On 13/03/2018 20:56, Ilia Sotnikov wrote: > Excellent, thanks Damiano!

[sane-devel] HP5590 and scanbd button recognition
Hi Ilia and Jared I'm just registered to this ML to propose my patch to this back end driver made in the past weekend. And I see someone have my same problem :) I've used hp5590 scanner with scanbuttond for years. Some week ago I've upgraded my system to debian 9 and discovered that scanbd does not works anymore with my scanner. I really need this functionality so I've made modifications to hp5590.c code to export the options . Is a first attempt and the backend called by scanbd threads makes buttons quite responsive without using a self polling thread. I've made a patch file for debian 9 stable version package (yes but the real patch is for hp5590.c only) If you are interested I can send it (or tell me if I have to release into the repo directly I'm new user here :)) Damiano On 07/03/2018 14:01, hostcc at gmail.com (Ilia Sotnikov) wrote: > Hi, > backend author here - it shouldn't be too much of effort to expose > button status so scanbd can use it.

I'm been successful using scanbd with SANE backends to get scanning working over my network and locally on the host machine, but I can't seem to get it to recognize button presses, either running scanbd in foreground or background. For past testing, it seems that actions defined in scanbd.conf are used to tie to the backend options? From searching /var/log/syslog, I expected to track button presses or get some sort of trigger feedback, and I didn't think I needed an action set up for it. Any help on this one would be much appreciated. Thanks.
