 This is a list of what I want to change/include for xsane.
-If you have any suggestions: mail to Oliver.Rauch@Wolfsburg.DE
+If you have any suggestions: mail to Oliver.Rauch@rauch-domain.de
 
-(+ planned to do this soon/higher priority, - comes later/lower priority)
+Sign explaination:
+ # planned for XSane-1.0.0
+ + planned to do this soon/higher priority (but not promised for XSane-1.0)
+ - comes later/lower priority
 
-errors:
- + autoenhancement crashes if selected area is totally white
- + segfault if pipette pick out of preview image
+ save-function:
+    # filetype ".txt" => call ocr function
 
-first steps:
- * options:
- - fax-function:
+ copy-function:
+    + select image position on printer (centered/left/right/free) for copy
+
+ fax-function:
+    # use internal viewer to display images
+      # while scanning save image as pnm
+      # convtert all images to one postscript file when sending fax
+    + create lock file, add information while spooling fax
+    + add coverpage with edit like mail function
     - add send delayed option
     - add options for sender/receiver Name
-    - what about faxprojects with mixed normal- and fine-mode pages?
-    - zoom ?
- - email-function:
-    - based on fax mode
-    - image type = ?
-    - resolution selectable
-    - create a html mail
-    - mail editor = ?
- - copy mode:
-    + select image position on printer (centered/left/right/free) for copy
-      and show it in the preview.
-    + selection of portrait/landscape for output
- - scan mode into postscript file:
-    - define image position on paper the same way it is done in copy mode
-    - add postscript definition to setup and handle it as printer
-      like copy mode options:
-      - resolution
-      - with, height, dx, dy
- - preview:
-    + 16 bit preview scan, gamma conversion to 8 bit
-    + preview always in greyscale or always in color
+    + zoom ?
+
+ email-function:
+    # use internal viewer to display images
+      # while scanning save image as pnm
+      # convtert image to target format when sending email
+      # add new image types to email fileformat: tiff, jpeg
+
+ gamma function:
+    # add target gamma (e.g. for web publishing)
+    # correct gtk custom gamma functions and include it
+      may be write an own gamma curve widget
+
+ medium selection:
+    - medium definition in dependance of the scanner (?)
+      (I am not sure if this makes sense with color managemant)
+
+ preview function:
     - force aspect ratio of selection area
-    - force size of selection area
-    - add oversampling factor for preview resolution to
-      improve zoomed previews without a new scan
- - enhancement:
-    - move threshold in lineart-mode to main window ?
-    - add grayscale preview scan -> gamma 0/255 -> displayed preview  for lineart mode
- + batch scan function
-
- * internal:
-   - include much more parameters when saving images
-   - test memory after all calls of malloc
-   - make better backend-dependend option handling and error handling (mostly done!)
-   - other output formats for saving - *** which? ***
-     - gif will not be supported because of licence
-   - more/better online helpfiles
-   - printer setup: geometry in inch/millimeter/centimeter
-
-second steps:
- - correct gtk custom gamma functions and include it
- - include special functions for GNOME/KDE - *** DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS TO THIS ? ***
+    - force size of scanarea in pixels (calculate resolution)
+
+ batch scan function
+    - select multiple scan areas before starting the scan
+
+ viewer function:
+    # add more filters (sharpen?)
+      suggestions? - ONLY REALLY IMPORTANT FILTERS,
+      FOR OTHER IMAGE MANIPULATION THERE IS THE GIMP
+    # crop
+    # what about automatic increase of filename counter???
+      this is not simple because there may be several
+      viewers opend at the same time
+
+ internal:
+    + add color management - may be via xcmsdb or scarse (www.scarse.org)
+      (not until xsane-1.0 I think)
+    - average of a multiple scan of the same image
+    + add range check / valid value when reading xsane.rc/*.drc files
+    + add several defaults (fax=> mode=gray,...)
+    - include much more parameters when saving images
+    + test memory after each call of malloc - partly done
+    - more/better online helpfiles (mostly done)
+    - added infrared filter for transmisse rgbi scans:
+      use next neighbour with high transmission(i) value
+      (may be to viewer)
+
+ include special functions for GNOME/KDE
+   *** DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS TO THIS ? ***
    - GNOME:
      - gnome-print support?
-     - session management
+     - session management ?
    - drag and drop for preview image?
- + add color management - may be via xcmsdb
+   - other drag and drop functions?
+
+ TWAIN:
+    - add a twain-win32 interface (for xsane-win32)
+    - define a twain-unix interface in cooperation with TWAIN-group
+      (first contact to TWAIN in summer 1999, TWAIN is intersted in
+      creating a TWAIN-unix interface that uses sane as scanner driver API
+    - add a twain-unix interface to xsane
+ 
+ WIN32 version of xsane/sane
+    + make internationalization work (looks like a charset problem)
+    - may be xsane-win32 without cygwin.dll on native win32 mode
+    - may be later we make a sane-WIN32 version so that the backends do work too
+
