Support for directly saving scanned images in DjVu <http://djvu.sf.net> format would be really useful.

YES, PLEASE!

djvu-format is pretty good.
1. It can handle multi-documents
2. It can store ascii-texts of areas, which were OCR'ed.
3. It's a extremly compact format. If scanned a tex-document in black/white, the djvu-format needs less space than the pure text-document. Really!

djvu can used to scan and save books.

here is my wishlist.

1.
kooka should be able to scan several pages and store the result in one single file.

2.
kooka should allow the user to set the djvu-parameters. (e.g. there is an parameter which defines the size of spots to be ignored)

3.
kooka should be able to store the OCR-result in the document as text. (This allows to search in a djvu-document for texts)

It will be very usefull if kooka and kde will be have native support of DjVu.
Comment 3 Jonathan Marten 2008-02-24 18:08:43 UTC 
Image saving is limited to the formats supported by KImageIO, which currently does not support DjVu (either reading or writing).  Supporting other formats will require either writing a plugin, or a big rewrite to support the format within Kooka.
