Up to now, we use the scanner tool integrated in koffice. I've never seen it because I don't own a scanner anymore. There's another bug about our scanner integration; I should look it up. But it's not something I'll be able to fix soon because I cannot test it. I have a scanner, I will try to improve the current scanning tool. source of inspiration, other than kooka : http://sourceforge.net/projects/quiteinsane at least, I did plug my scanner on my computer :) so I am in position and willing to start working on this. So lets agree on the list of what the plugin should do: - allow the selection of the scanner (not that people usually have a lot of them pluged to their computer, but sane thinks that my tv card is a scanner, so it seems that I looks like I have two devices...) - allow to select the resolution and if scanning in color or gray (8 or 12bits) - have a preview area, and the possibility to select a rectangle on it to limit the scaned size (with an automatic detection of the area) - and a "final" button that close the dialog and create the layer I think it is all we need, am I correct ? - Contrast/Saturation...-settings?
- Output-fileformat (png, jpg...)
- Where to put the scanned files
- OCR-interface ("frontend" to gocr et al)
- DPI-Settings
"Output-fileformat (png, jpg...)" "Where to put the scanned files" is for a kooka like application, for scanning within krita, the scanned image is added as a layer to the current image where you can tweak the "Contrast/Saturation...-settings" using krita's filters. As for OCR, it's something for kword or kpresenter. Hehe, this bug is specific for Krita, sorry. I promise to drink more coffee from now on. Yes, you are of course right. Still, DPI is very important :) I've go a parallel scanner. If needed I can test the code ;) . Oh, and 16 bit/channel image acquisition -- but libkscan and thus the koffice scan plugin don't support it. *** Bug 128746 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I don't have a working scanner, and until I do, I don't feel like working on that. Well, the Krita Pledgie is 400€ over goal, I am sure the donors wouldn't mind if you bought a 50€ scanner if this results in code. I certainly wouldn't. :-) The kde sane frontends are still limited to 8 bits/channel, and sane.h looks pretty insane to me... Added as task to http://community.kde.org/Krita/GetStartedOn Was this task abandoned ? Thanks Given the lack of cross-platform scanner integration solutions, we're not going to implement this. |
