[sane-devel] SANE2, time for a decision

Hi everybody, I also think we should setup a more or less small group of developers who are willing to help Oliver to finish the sane2 standard. We might should setup a list of stuff that should also go into this new standard - this list should be more or less a whishlist, which means that

Hi, It wanted to try latest version of sane bakend for LS50ED Nikon scanner. It seems that I don't get the right version. I have backend 1.0.16. Does this include the latest developpement ? No, you'd need to patch it, or try the precompiled lib. Please refer to the following mail in SANE

Hi, finally I made your patch to work and compiled sane-backends with it. I am using version sane-backends-1.0.15 no problem, the coolscan2 driver didn't change since a while ago When I run Xsane, I get the option to choose between the two scanners I have (Epson and Nikon) and get a new

Hi all, i just wanted to let you know that i finally got the coolscan V working with Sane :-)) it took a while because the docu is quite twisted to understand. I still don't have a patch to provide, because i hardcoded some parameter, but will get in touch with Andras to get something usable

this is great.! Congrats. Now, how about the NIKON LS-5000? I am waiting for your driver so that I can start my project, hopefully. Any idea of where you are at so far? Hopefully the LS-5000 will work also with the same fixes, didn't check the specs though, but you'll get to test the patch

Hi Spiro, I am glad you are working on this scanner as I see more people needing your assistance. As for me, I am now very happy because the project I have to work on is very big; it involved about 15000 pictures (35mm) and the sponsor, for charity, trusts my work. So, on my behalf, I then

Hi, Please check out the archives of this list -- we have hashed out quite a few times what is necessary, what we have etc. A bunch of people (including me) have access to the specifications (under NDA) but not the hardware (I don't, for example) Finally my request for the NDA was accepted

Hi, What we need is someone to spare a few hours and check the USB log of VueScan or Nikonscan against the Coolscan2 code. There's something the scanner doesn't like which is probably not even prohibited by the specs. Any takers? I can send you the latest version of Coolscan2 with which I've
