[sane-devel] scanner buttons, was: Simplified installation procedure for Redhat Fedora Linux 1.0 and Epson 1670 scanner, also a report of a bug?

Hi,

I'm currently implementing button support for the Avision backend
(because users asks for it ...). I run into a tiny issue:

When the state is read by the application, it should be in some way
reset. Any idea how this fits into the proposed ideas - especially if
we have single options?

There is the disadvantage that is is harder to flush the state. If all
would be in a mask the next read could just reset it ...
