Twain Sane and Mac OS 10.7 Lion
I think suitable to put here a following subject of the similar topic in the Mac OS 10.6 section.
I try to sum up:
- the Twain Sane interface of Mattias Ellert no longer works properly under Lion. In Graphic Converter, it no more appears. In Image Capture, the Preview button works, but the scan button doesn't work, except perhaps with the text mode and tiff format
- At the time, Mattias Ellert did not announce a 10.7 version of his interface
- MacPorts reports a build failure while trying to build Twain Sane on Lion
- If the SANE drivers are still there (Lion installation on Snow Leopard, not a clean install perhaps), the scanimage command on the Terminal is still working and one may scan an entire A4 document for exemple, and then modify if with somme other software. Here is a code, for example:
/usr/local/bin/scanimage --mode Color --format tiff --resolution 600 > ~/scanimage.tiff
- The Snac small software makes it more easy to choose the parameters of the scanimage command, with a little graphic interface. There are less possibilities than in Twain Sane Interface, but though announced for Tiger, it seems to still works with Lion, perhaps after a new intall.
