[sane-devel] Developers take note: Backend initialization

2010-12-06 Thread m. allan noah
Authors- Now that we are seeing more frontends like button monitors, a common initialization problem has become evident. The sane standard specifically says that sane_get_devices() can be called repeatedly to discover new devices. Unfortunately, many backends do this discovery just once by
