[sane-devel] Probleme with time during multipage scanning

Hi everyone,

(French so don't mind langage's errors...)

Our scanner is in a different room with all the stuff for printers, we
usually need multipage scanning and there are three problems :

   1. For the start, even we try to beat Carl Lewis on 50 meters, even
      we ask someone to help use (with shouting : "OK GO ON, start this
      $%## scan!", no way with customer on site), even we go with our
      pages first then go back to computer then go back to scan...
   2. During the scan of 10 or 20 pages, you'd better be a shaolin monk
      and fell like the squirrel to be as sharp as him.
   3. The end is ok but you always find pages with bad scan and you have
      to redo it sometimes twice because your squirrel feeling is gone...

The thing is that with _a timing for start_ AND _a timing between scans_
there will be no problems...

Thus we could do easily a scanimage script (that's what we actually had
done, before the throwing of the scanner througt the window...) but I
had read somewhere that OpenSource and FreeSoftware needs to point out
the willing of there users... :) JOKE!

To be honest, we just need to see where we could add this feature among
the amount of code, in fact where is the "do scan" function...

Thanks for reading

Regards,
