Well I ran into some problems using it if I play with some setting. The
result is this error message:
Whe selecting the Color Matrix:
** WARNING **: file gtkobject.c: line 1083 (gtk_object_get_data_by_id): "GTK_IS_OBJECT (object)"
** WARNING **: file gtksignal.c: line 1043 (gtk_signal_real_emit): "gtk_type_is_ a (GTK_OBJECT_TYPE (object), signal->info.object_type)"
And then it bails out.
Environment:
Digital XL-300 (Alpha) with 64 MB RAM
HP ScanJet 5p
RedHat Linux 5.0 with all fixes up to a few days ago.
GTK+ 0.99.8
GIMP 0.99.22
SANE 0.71 including the patch to use the ones above.
I do think the code needs a checkup and some more testing afterwards
before it can be included. Unfortunate I can only help you with the most
obvious errors. So someone needs to go over the code with a fine comb to
spot the bugs that still seem to be in there.
I did not test gama stuff as that bails out as well but for a different
reason (floating point exception). Which is not a SANE issue I think.
