Gimp can do all of that (manually or with its scripting), but I just mean, it is far superior to xv by the range of options and drivers available. > One more important job is data searching on the scanned images.

I don't know if such a thing exists, but it should be trivial to make a script that will watch the directory for new files, ask for descriptions and store them in a database (if scanning is done manually) or run scanimage from the script and do the same (if no manual adjustment is necessary between scans). -- Alex
