Please DO NOT send a copy of any reply directly to me. It appears that this causes the SANE list manager to NOT send me a copy on the list, and it is ONLY on the list that I watch for replies. It appears that there are really three types of options in SANE. 1. "Well-known" standard options as def

Hello Dave, what you are talking about are "well known options" like defined in the sane standard. For the SANE_DESC_SCAN_MODE you are right, this should be a well known option. The other listed options are hardware dependant options which are implemented different for all scanners, so it does not

Our practice is to provide a standard user interface for all of our scanners. These UI programs then call upon the SANE backends as needed. Of course, they need to be able to understand the options for each of the backends so they can translate the user's choices. But it appears that there is littl
