Re: Review: Linux vs. Windows 98 Scanning
by fooman on Thursday May 24, @04:22AM
in the world of linux scanning software there is kooka which is part of KDE2. it uses the sane backend like xmame but is integrated with the KDE desktop. in fact, from the KOffice apps you can import an image from your scanner via kooka simply by select an option in the menu bar. i've been nothing but happy with sane+kooka using my USB HP scanner. oh, and for thumbnail viewing pixie by mosfet (also kde2) is absolutely wonderful for viewing large groups of thumbnails and even doing minor editing on them (cropping, etc...) just thought i'd give the KDE perspective of this part of computing life as the author did a good job of showing the Gnome side. (nice write up btw!)
