[sane-devel] scanning 'semi-thick' slides in sane ?

[Karl Heinz Kremer]

Unfortunately, your scanner will ignore this command. It's only
available on the high-end scanners, but thee is no way for
me to query the hardware for this. I'm working on a solution
that would enable this feature only for models that I know
that support it (using the model name).
