yes, i noticed with thanks your suggestion. i had heard about vuescan but i had also forgotten. from internet it seems that it supports digital ice, which i need for my old and scratched films. now i am short of time but as soon as i resume digitalizing my collection of films i plan to visit vuescan. incidentally, although i am a unix user, both linux at home and bsd on institutional mainframe, i have nothing against proprietary software, especially when there is no need to modify the code, as with drivers. i pay for them with satisfaction. it is different with computational programs (both mechanical and quantum mechanical): proprietary software withouth source code where to intervene does not allow to do the job transparently, resulting in blind actions and finally a waste of time for users.' regards from lucca francesco pietra On Tuesday 11 April 2006 19:29, xyzzy1@xxxxxxxxxx wrote: > On Tuesday 11 April 2006 08:50, Francesco Pietra wrote: > > I inherited a nikon coolscan V/usb film scanner that i can not use on > > debian, and therefore remains unused. was any management of this scanner > > through wine ever described or unsuccessfully tried? > > Try VueScan ( http://www.hamrick.com/ ), one of the few non-free pieces of > software that I own (WinXP being another, unfortunately). > > VueScan is cheap and handles all the scanners that are out there including > my dinosaur LS-2000. > > He (Hamrick) also has a native Linux version. > > > > _______________________________________________ > wine-users mailing list > wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx > http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
