Release scan2pdf-v2.6 Changes: - Added option '-t/--prompt-timeout VALUE' (with VALUE in seconds); when specified, user prompts time out after the specified duration, allowing for automatic, time-based continuous scanning (useful for manual duplex and/or batch mode) - Added option '-i/--initial-prompt' which issues a user prompt before the first scan operation (e.g. before odd pages for manual duplex, before first document in batch mode) - Redistributed short options to free up letters for added features (mainly '-t' for '--prompt-TIMEOUT'; additionally, '-p' seemed more fitting for '--outfile-PATTERN') - Renamed option '-a/--batch-scan' to '-a/--batch-mode' (seemed more fitting) - Added defaults for all command line options to usage information (before, defaults for flags like manual duplex, batch mode, etc. were missing) - Added all possible configuration items to configuration file (before, flags like manual duplex, batch mode, etc. were omitted) - Applied several minor fixes (prints, comments, error messages)
Release scan2pdf-v2.5 Changes: - Added option '-u/--manual-duplex' to facilitate scanning double-sided documents with devices that lack hardware support for duplex scanning - Added Service Menu for KDE file managers Konqueror and Dolphin for convenient one-click scanning to PDF file via context menu entries - Reduced 'printx()' functions to one-liners, output warnings and errors to stderr
Release scan2pdf-v2.4 Changes: - Changed workflow to either use 'scanimage'+'convert' (preferred) -or- 'scanimage'+'tiffcp'+'tiff2pdf' (fallback); 'convert' is preferred as 'tiff2pdf' might get removed from LibTIFF in the future (see https:// bugs.gentoo.org/914232) - Updated dependency requirements in 'README.md' to reflect new workflow (now, either ImageMagick -or- LibTIFF is required) - Added output options for 'convert' equivalent to those currently used for 'tiff2pdf' (i.e. ZIP compression -or- JPEG compression, quality 95) - Added command options to 'Scan settings/parameters' listing printed to console
Release scan2pdf-v2.3
Changes:
- Added option '-a/--batch-scan' to allow scanning multiple documents in one
go, prompting user in between documents (depends on option
'-o/--outfile-pattern' for output file naming)
- Added option '-o/--outfile-pattern' that allows specifying OUTFILE command
line argument as printf-style pattern (e.g. '~/Documents/Scan_%05d.pdf')
that is used to automatically determine the next available output file name
by incrementing the integer part of the pattern
- Reordered configuration items to better highlight which settings to use for
which paper size
- Removed configuration items that only make sense to be modified via command
line options from configuration file ('BATCH_SCAN_DEFAULT',
'OUTFILE_PATTERN_DEFAULT', 'KEEP_TEMP_DEFAULT')
- Eliminated need to 'cd' to temporary directory by adding path to temporary
directory to '--batch=' template of call to 'scanimage'
- Added '--' to explicitely end option parsing to all external commands that
support it
- Applied a few minor tweaks to printed output (wording, spacing)
- Extended headers in script and configuration file to 80 characters
- Reformatted 'README.md' and 'CHANGELOG.md' to be more readable when viewed
in a simple text viewer/editor
