What could be easier than clicking on skanlite and then "scan", wait for it to finish and save in your desired format? In the office, the one desktop that has the scanner attached, has Skanlite running all the time. One step saved.
I just used Skanlite to scan a document. All I can do is save the image. I cannot import directly into any app. I'd have to import the saved image.
Directly as in straight from Skanlite? I guess that's true. I haven't felt it was an obstacle.
Gimp reads directly from Xsane. I don't know if it uses an intermediate file, a pipe, or shared memory, no idea. If the wanted result is a pdf, xsane saves to PDF, IIRC. But one file per page. I don't know if there is a scanner tool that would produce a file with several pages as a single operation. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
