* Package name : libinsane Version : 1.0.1 Upstream Author : Jerome Flesch <jfle...@openpaper.work> * URL : https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/OpenPaperwork/libinsane * License : LGPL-3.0+ Programming Lang: C Description : A cross-platform, cross-programming languages, cross scanner library that takes care of all the quirks of scanners. Libinsane is *the* library to access scanners on both Linux and Windows. It's cross-platform, cross-programming languages, cross-scanners :-). It takes care of all the quirks of all the platforms and scanners It has however some limitations: - It is only designed to work with *scanners*, not webcams, not USB keys, etc (think paper-eaters only) - TWAIN API may display some dialogs. Libinsane cannot prevent them. - Full bed page scan only: Presence of the option to set the scan area cannot be guaranteed. You may have to crop the image later in your own application (see [Paperwork](https://openpaper.work) for example). - 24 bits color scans only (may be fixed later) It is the successor of Pyinsane2[0] but shares no code with it. This is a dependency of paperwork[1] package which I'm in the process of packaging. This package will be maintained in salsa.d.o in the group openpaperwork-team with other paperwork dependencies. As I'm not a DD, I'll need a sponsor for this package. [0]: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/pyinsane [1]: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=721287
