I yesterday tried the SANE gphoto backend... while I could import pictures into Picasa with the code, it needs configuring /etc/sane.d/gphoto2 with the specific camera you use and the actual size of the image. Nothing easy on the GUI side and I really would like to give the user autodetection and a better GUI in the end. What I also consider currently is restructuring DSM -> DS to allow also native .ds drivers for native scanner and camera drivers. While these likely will need also windows driver support it might help open new opportunities there. Ciao, Marcus
