For proper support on OS X (e.g. by Apple's apps thru Image Capture) the source must support the userinterface less mode. > least I got this information some years ago from the chairman of TWAIN.

Never noticed complains, only noticed that I constly loose interests in SANE threads when I do not receive respones in my inbox while working on code. Whatever. Have a nice Sunday evening, -- Ren?
