Hi all,
just two things:
i) some (mostly cosmetic) changes in trunk (all recent ArchLinux
problems should be solved now :-)):
svn co https://scanbd.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/scanbd/trunk
ii) scanbd will be at the Chemnitzer Linux Tage CLT 2012 at the booth of
the KMUX-project ( http://www.kmux.de ), since it is part of the
KMUX software-stack (KMUX aka "F/OSS f?r Kleine und
Mittelst?ndische Unternehmen" in german or small-business
enterprise-system). Anybody interested in discussiong scanbd (or
KMUX) is very welcome.
[
scanbd is a scanner button daemon. It polls the scanner buttons looking
for buttons pressed or function knob changes or other scanner events as
paper inserts / removals and at the same time allows
also scan-applications to access the scanners. If buttons are pressed,
etc., various actions can be submitted (scan, copy, email, ...) via
action scripts. The function knob values are passed to the
action-scripts as well. Scan actions are also signaled via dbus. This
can be useful for foreign applications. Scans can also be triggered via
dbus from foreign applications.
On platforms which support signaling of dynamic device insertion /
removal (libudev, dbus, hal) scanbd supports this as well.
scanbd can use all sane-backends or some special backends from the (old)
scanbuttond project.
Supported platforms: Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD
