Hello, to my knowledge, there is no SANE API feature that explicitly handle this case. I think it has to be added to the areas where the API could be improved. The only way I know to get around that within the current framework, is to create an SANE_Option for this feature of the backend and let frontends querying it. It is how button handling is done, and you'll meet the same problems and limitations. Regards, Stef
