I just scanned a document using my GNU/Linux scanning software of choice: XSane.

When I started with GNU/Linux in 2000, I also used XSane.

I think it might be the same version: 0.999.

How software should work: No nonsense, options all laid out, does exactly what you tell it, no mistakes in 25 years. Even if it is clunky.

Worth a salute, I think.

Hello alltogether, I have a question concerning scanning with Linux (Manjaro Linux, scanning with xsane, Scanner Canon DR-F120).
1. Only document feed is working, flatbed gives the error "feed is empty".
2. (more important) When I perform a preview scan, everything is fine, but when scanning, the colors are false. Magenta turns green and things like that. You can read it, but it would be cool, if the colors were fine.
Canon has no support for Linux

TIL: Damit xsane (bereits installiert) direkt aus GIMP heraus genutzt werden kann, muß zusätzlich das Paket sane installiert werden. Das sagt in der Paketbeschreibung „Grafisches Frontend für xsane“, was ich völlig anders interpretiere, als es offenbar gemeint ist.

Logisch ist das für mich nicht.

Is that a quidditch snitch in her hand?

This engraving was made to sell the borders in it, & appeared in a printer’s catalogue of 1917.

PS: mention of quidditch is NOT an endorsement of the views of its inventor...

When your scanner doesn't work to work in the morning.

Nice pun. I appreciate it.

I finally resolved my issue with the #Epson #Scanner on #FreeBSD and #Xsane! ​

p.s. this wasn't a #peback! ​

Me parece increíble lo primitivo que es Xsane. En 20 años no ha cambiado nada, y la UI está llena de tropiezos. No parece haber nada mejor
