    Hi Andreas,

    - xsane-win32 does save the files as tif.
    - with unix you can select filetype "by ext"
      and enter the filename xyz.tif, this is
      recognized.
    - when you compile xsane yourself you only have
      to do one change to change the "tiff" menu item
      to "tif" (see xsane-*/src/xsane-fixedtext.h)

    Bye
    Oliver
