> People come here looking for solutions. What reason do you have to believe you are qualified to say what anyone else comes here looking for? In any case, this _is_ a SANE list, and people who come here looking for non-SANE things are coming to the wrong place. A certain amount of off-topic traffic is generally tolerated, as with most lists, the more so the less off-topic it is - but it still is off-topic. > Clearly [the original poster] has tried the SANE based solutions and > found them wanting.

(I'll treat that as a question despite the non-question punctuation.) Nothing. But that hearing-about does not have to take place on-list. If that response had been off-list, it would have been entirely acceptable. >> But please don't in any case direct users to a piece of commercial >> software that has nothing to do with SANE. > I simply will not stop, Well, please don't do so on a SANE-specific list. > People come here looking for solutions to real problems. And, once again, I'll point out that if those solutions are not SANE-related, this is not the place to discuss them. Suppose I were confused enough to come here looking for recommendations for air conditioners repair shops; would that make it acceptable to discuss air conditioners repair here? > In my opinion and that of many others SANE is currently unsuitable > for production scanning of negatives. Fine, so suggest and/or implement improvements. Or just go use whatever other scanning package you prefer. > I will not stop pointing people who require solutions today and not > next year to possible solutions commercial or otherwise. I, at least, have no problem with that - provided it's kept off of lists it's not relevant to. /~\ The ASCII der Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mo...@rodents.montreal.qc.ca / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
