Alexandre is right; text files that bit rot are a rotten way to report status. Better is to write verbose emails that make people click delete quickly <grin>.
I've been working on improving Wine's scanner support for the past few weeks, and it's come a long way.
If anyone has a scanner, and wants to help me out, I'd sure appreciate testing. We could use other applications and other sane scanners as test data points.
So here is a current status:
What works For Me (TM): 1. Most of what the TWAIN 1.8 specification defines as mandatory is now implemented. I'll document the exceptions in the code shortly.
2. Scanning with IrfanView and Acrobat Professional seems to mostly behave.
What doesn't work: 1. You can't use advanced Twain features like file transfer mode.
2. Memory xfer mode is almost certainly broken.
3. Acrobat lets you set a custom scan size, which we don't support (see DAT_IMAGELAYOUT, below).
If anyone else wants to play, I'd appreciate it.
Cheers,
Jeremy
