Hi, In the user interface I cannot change the unit for the width and height of the scanned zone. Currently it's : inches. I suspect it *should* be millimeters (mm). A4 is ISO and uses the metric system. `scanimage -L` reports these values in millimeters. In KSaneCore/option.h there's a UnitMilliMeter but no inch one in the enum OptionUnit. And all the rules on my desktop are engraved in centimeters and millimeters. Though I agree it would be very convenient for our friends in the US to optionaly be able to set this unit as inches. Thanks and best regards
Thanks for the report. When using the test backend I can only see imperial units in the scan resolution (DPI) but that unit is basically everywhere... For me the scan-area size is in mm... What locale do you have? could it be a translation error? What scanner/backend do you have could it be something from the backend?
Hi, Scanner is Epson V370. Locale is us_US.UTF-8 (sorry). It does work with millimeters now... I need to launch it like this (e.g.) : $ LC_MEASUREMENT="fr_FR.UTF-8" skanlite & I had thought the locale could be the issue… I keep it as us_US.UTF-8 to use the qwerty keyboard, to avoid bad or incomplete translations and so that I can share error messages with others, linux being mostly developed in the english language. Plus LC_MEASUREMENT seems to be seldom used. But, anyway, I suppose it should be used. In this regard, the software works as expected. Thank you.
Hmm... I guess there might be a translation error, because we do not have mm to inch conversion anywhere...
