Package: scanbuttond Severity: wishlist *** Please type your report below this line *** Howdy !
Could it be possible to add an initscript to this package ? You indicate in the Readme that a udev rule should be the way to launch scanbuttond, but I guess it depends on cases. If one is to shut down his scanner most of the time, sure, it may be the best option (that, or an HAL automation... I do not really like executing things from udev, which is really low-level, and much too crucial, IMHO : I only tweak him to get custom nodes). But I have seen a lot of scanners without power-down buttons, and I must confess mine is always up, as it now has a dedicated OpenVZ container with SANE in it, so I can scan from my workstation as well as from my laptop, joining saned through the network. Now turning it into a photocopier, or making it able to write a file on a network share, just pushing on one of its buttons, also seduces me. Like the one for saned, an init script could have a default variable in /etc/default/scanbuttond, for instance RUN=no, that would not make it start by default, but still allow it to, so to ease transition for already existing users, or simply for people not interested in it. I guess this one could run with the same user-ID has sane, but this could be subject to discussion : anyway, this should at least run with a group-id that allows using the scanner... This would be a great, and not so complicated (especially compared with execution of daemons by udev :p) addition to this package, IMHO... anyway, I am surely going to craft one for myself when I'll have time, but having it in the package would be a good thing.
