Summary: DDE problems with TWAIN app Product: Wine Version: 20040716 Platform: PC URL: http://www.scanace.com OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-ipc AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: brainstorm@menta.net
I own a scanner (pacific image scanace 630p (parallel port scanner)). It comes with specific software (Cyberview, http://www.scanace.com/download/drv_630p.htm). I also use DeskScan as the program to launch Cyberview (http://www.snapfiles.com/get/deskscan.html).
The problem is DDE, nothing is shown, the app (Deskscan) just hangs with no CPU overhead when I issue an "Acquire" from the "scan" menu:
~ $ WINEDEBUG=+dde,+relay wine .wine/fake_windows/Program\ Files/DeskScan/DeskScan.exe
err:win:WIN_FindWndPtr window 0x1003c belongs to other process err:ddeml:DdeConnect Done with INITIATE, but no Server window available
The state of the scanner is not relevant, it's just a dde emulation fault (the same results are archieved with scanner connected & disconnected). In other words, the error is fully REPRODUCIBLE.
