Hi Dennis,
Thanks for the work on the ImageClass backend, I've just browsed
the code and it looks close to mp730 one, but I think it's fine to
have ImageClass in a separate file, as it concerns a large number
devices.
I'll incorporate it in CVS soon, as I have currently under test, several
modifications for MP970.
Concerning the issues:
- Did you try also with Xsane ? I did not notice with Xsane the ADF and
ADF duplex issue (only ADF appears if duplex not declared), but I don't
use xscanimage. Could you test with Xsane and check if you have still
the ADF duplex issue ?
- Concerning the free issue, I just compared code with mp150 file, the
finish_scan () function does not contain free () statements, they are
included in the close () function. Maybe this is why the free () gets
executed twice.
I would suggest to do as in the mp150 finish scan () function, remove
the 2 lines in iclass_finish_scan:
free (mf->buf);
mf->buf = mf->lbuf = mf->imgbuf = NULL;
and let the close () function do the free statement.
Could you test this ?
-For grayscale at 150 dpi, this is rather weird. Could it be related to
the free statements ?
