--- Comment #1 from Damjan Jovanovic damjan.jov@gmail.com 2009-10-14 03:51:29 --- We only barely support WIA's predecessor and foundation, STI (Still Image). Some of my rudimentary STI patches went in only about a week ago, and I've been struggling hard since to write even a basic IStillImage_GetDeviceList() test. And I haven't even gotten to USBSCAN.SYS and USB access in Wine...
WIA is massive. It even has at least 2 interfaces to scripting languages and .NET, and the docs are about 5 times longer than the STI docs. It is years away, if we ever even get to it.
You might be able to use the Windows native DLLs and EXEs for WIA in Wine, but then you'd still need kernel mode components, probably missing SETUPAPI bits, various .INF files, registry entries, and maybe even some .NET stuff, so I just don't see it happening.
