Job found

September 18, 2008

Hi,

This year, i’m no longer student. I sucessfuly pass exams and i’m now working as web developer at Nerim. I actually want to take to get GNOME Scan usable this year. Lukily, my employer is quite permissive about how I spend hours at Nerim.I plan to free each wednesday morning to have time for free software, possibily at home. Currently, i work on scout website (yet another project i have to release one time).

Vala has done nice steps forward, but i need .gir support to handle properly subnamespace (Gnome.Scan and not GnomeScan). But that’s a matter only when mixing pure C/GObject and vala code. I wonder if that make sense to rewrite all in Vala. Pretty useless. It even can be a pain to maintain GEGL vapi. I’ll check that as soon as i wake up GNOME Scan.

May GNOME Scan resurect this year.  Patches welcome.

Regards,

Étienne.

    Pensez-vous que Gnome-Scan vas un jour remplacer Sane?

    Aussi, je ne connais rien à la façon don sont monté les logiciels de scan (lessez faire les termes techniques, je ne comprendrai rien) mais je me demandais si ce serait possible de faire en sorte que l’ajout du support d’un nouveau scanneur puisse se faire en installent une “extension” comme on peut le faire sous Firefox? Comme ça les compagnies pourraient fournir des extensions sur le cd qu’ils fournissent avec le scanneur et ça nous permettrait de l’installer sous Linux.

    Autre chose aussis, la résolution de scan. C’est bien mystérieux pour moi. Les appareils photo numériques ont une résolution native et on ne peut pas photographier plus gros que ce que permet l’appareil. Dans le cas des scanneurs il ne semble pas y avoir de limites. Mais, j’ai du mal à croire qu’un petit appareil à 100$ puisse faire du 1800dpi. Je remarque que le scan en 1800 dpi est plus lent mais je me pose une question. Est-ce que c’est lent parce que le scanneur ramasse l’information ou parce que le logiciel de scan agrandie l’image pendant le scan?

    Si le scanneur a des limites de résolution, il faudrait que le logiciel flegita nous limite à cette résolution.

    Salut Pierluc,

    GNOME Scan utilise SANE et est un concurrent d’XSane, bien que sur un autre crénaut.

    Étienne.

    hi would be great if you’d add a photocopy function like pressing a button and it automatically scans and prints the page. thanks!

    Hopefully gnome scan can finally replace xsane soon! Btw. the developers blog link on http://www.gnome.org/projects/gnome-scan/ is broken.

    20 year with MS its long time and I feel its not to early to change.
    The are so much truble with MS now and the looks like they not handle it! Or Maybe they not take the customer seriusly.

    Im not developer but profesional program user and because of that I have one big challange.

    One of my program for IR (infrared camara) are integrat or ekstra implement for MS office word.

    I import the jpg. picture from IR camera to my computer expand, study and make a rapport out of it.

    Maybe some people out here some can take this challange and help me?

    Look forward to try your scan program Ètienne.
