I'm looking for a straight forward scanning solution for use under gnome. As far as I can tell, XSane is the only thing around (and it's horrible). I've managed to create sane command line options and assign them to icons for most of what I want to do and simple functions like; scan multi-page to PDF, scan multi-page to email are now a "one-click" solution. The problem is with flat-bed scanning which requires the user to "preview" the scan and then select an area for scanning before completing the operation. I see no alternative than to fire up the full X-Sane front end which is what I'm hoping to avoid. I know there is a more comprehensive scanning solution under KDE (which I can't recall the name of) but it also doesn't really do what I want and in any case it is way over-kill. If anyone is aware of a very simple, straight forward scanning system that provides the following 4 options: multi-page to PDF multi-page to email (PDF attachment) flatbed to PDF flatbed to email (PDF or JPG attachment) please let me know.
