PMInSANE :-P

Hello,

here's a new version that should address the needs mentioned so far.

1. Tooltip now disabled by default  ( Activate with a button )
2. The Scanned image can open in one instance PMView ( Activate with a button )
3. "Crash" occured during close if no Color was selected.

Note!
Click the button to the left of Preview to see the fields with numbers to adjust the cropping area.

Nice...thank you! I'm checking it out...have some visual artifacts that show up when the app starts but I'm not quite sure what's causing it...I'm running SNAP drivers here on a dual-head monitor config...let me try a few things first!

Jan-Erik Lärka:
The visual artefacts appear here as well. it's part of DrDialog but resolv if you adjusst the window size >>>>slightly<<<< so that it can recalculate the position of controls and reposition/redraw them.

You know, that's an excellent little app indeed. I was not aware that it existed, and it does certainly accomplish everything that my REXX script based stuff does, albeit in a nifty and easier to use GUI format. Short of a few image control type of things (like scanning into a default TIFF format), this is spot-on.

Thank you for bringing this up.

BTW:
HPscan, despite it's name can in fact be used by multiple scanner devices, which the author calls out in the readme file, although judging by app name only this may not be so obvious. The key stipulation here is that you would need the full SANE backend installed along with the appropriately configured device specific sane conf file. Otherwise, the hpaoi and hplib would be used directly by the HPscan, but for HP scanners only in that case.

Yup, and honestly these are tiny things, so easy to deal with.

OK good stuff, this is working well.

So can I 'push my luck" some more??? LOL

How about the other additional feature request:

1) could we add the file format choice?
I prefer to save my old Auto Parts Books scans in TIFF and optionally do some post processing on these in PMView, etc.

BUG REPORT
=========
1) CROP function, in my case the crop is incorrect, meaning the wrong part of the image is cropped. Take a look please at the attachments.

2) DEVICE select doesn't work: using "-DEVICE hp:libusb:003:001" in the program object parameter field results in that initial pop-up progress window just being blank, and any scanner commands afterwards do not produce any results

EDIT => nope, turns out that passing ANY parameters causes the outcome I wrote above, it is not just the '-DEVICE' one which I initially thought...passing '-O Y:\tmp' (which is my RAMDISK) produces the same result.
