Welcome to the Gnome Scan project. ââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââ http://www.gnome.org/projects/gnome-scan/index The project aim to build an infrastructure allowing developers to easily build consistent and easy-to-use scan features in their software. The project is not a standalone application but a library to be used in applications. What are the feature implemented/planned ? ââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââ * HIG scan dialog very consistent with Gtk+ print dialog. * Dynamic device selection. * Fulfeatured scan preview. * Easy mass acquisition. * Per application preference saving. * Scan from scanner using SANE (http://www.sane-project.org/). * Scan from images and PDF. * Integration in Gnome application (Gimp, Abiword, Evolution, Inkscape, â¦) How can i use it ? ââââââââââââââââââ Gnome Scan provide a library for use by applications (e.g. using plugins) as well as a tiny standalone application, called flegita, which allow to simply save scan to file. How to help ? âââââââââââââ Reporting bugs is very helpful. There is too kind of bugs : interface bugs, and scanner handling bug. Due to the large variety of scanners, building a scan interface is quite hard. Gnome Scan might fail using properly your scanner. This is a bug. By default, Gnome Scan dump device specification. Run flegita in a terminal and redirect output in a file. user@host:~$ flegita > debug.log Reproduce the bug, close flegita (if it didn't crash ;-) ) and attach debug.log to the bug report. This will highly help developers to diagnostic problems. How to contribute ? âââââââââââââââââââ Reading the TODO is always a good idea. Patches are very welcome as well as translations. Gnome Scan depends on various projects such as SANE (http://www.sane-project.org/), Gegl (http://www.gegl.org/), OCRopus (http://www.ocropus.org/). Contributing to such project will indirectly improve Gnome Scan.
