Views? Any appetite for an update to the SANE Standard? I'm
sure there <br>
are a few things that people would like to add.<br>

<div>If there's the possibility of re-opening the standard, I
for one would like to consider a more general handling of
frame formats. All the scanners that support eSCL these
days can return JPEG directly, and some of them can even
return a whole PDF at once. It would be great for the
frontend to be able to negotiate some sort of passthrough
mode instead of decoding these and then re-encoding in the
frontend.</div>

Many pixma machines return JPEG from ADF scan, but bizarrely not
from the flatbed. The pixma currently has to unpack the JPEG to
return RGB in this case. <br>
One of life's little curios that will ever likely be a mystery.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
