SaneWidget
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
NOTE:
- Development of SaneWidget has moved to KDE Extragear under the name Skanlite.
- libsanewidget is now libksane and it is developed in kdegraphics.
- libksane and Skanlite have been released in extragear together with KDE 4.0.4.
- libksane has moved to kdegraphics for KDE 4.1.
SaneWidget is an image scanning application (frontend to sane), with hopefully a sane user interface :) . SaneWidget is also an example of how one can use libsanewidget.
libsanewidget is a Qt4-based library that provides a widget, containing sane options and a preview area. The application only needs to create a sanewidget-widget and connect some signals to get a notification of when an image is ready to be retrieved.
The source package contains both the library and the application.
To compile the library:
] cd /path/to/libsanewidget
] mkdir build
] cd build
] cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ../
] make
] sudo make install
To compile the application:
] cd /path/to/sanewidget
] qmake-qt4 INSTALLBASE=/usr
] make
] sudo make install
The code can also be found at sourceforge:

* some of the "all options" need more explanation
(Speed?, scan speed? )
* checking/setting Permission for usb scanners (similar to k3b).
On SuSE 10.2 I had to manualy adapt /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/80-scanner.fdi, and to restart haldaemon to get permissions to acces my scanner.
using /usr/sbin/lsusb to find the appropriate numbers.
this is not a task for normal "users".

*checking/setting Permission would be a workaround, but is worth thinking about.
I guess you had the same problem with xsane :)

Kipi-plugins and digiKam have been started to port under KDE4. I would to see your application integrated in the AcquireImage kipi-plugin as well to remplace current kooka depency.
What do you think about ?

Mail me, if you have any questions or if you have any wishes for the API.

I for one think it's not ideal to make people start Krita or Digikam or whatever to scan something and would welcome Kooka's successor

My goal is to make a good library and then a light application that only scans images (not OCR, ....). Then if somebody is interested to use the library for something bigger, I'm more than happy :)
The library is licensed under the LGPL.

Maybe you can add an option to save the scanned image as pdf?
Also an idea is to add some default settings for scanning, like:
- fax ( 150 dpi / greyscaling )
- pdf ( 300 dpi / grey or color )
- foto ( some special values for light, dpi, and so on ... )
These are some things I'm thinking about. Maybe it's possible.
But first of all, thanks for your time and making scanning possible with a native qt4 app!

I have adding "profiles" with saved default options on my TODO :)
But now I'm concentrating on adding auto selection and multiple selections.

I used xsane for a long time and thats why I asked for pdf savings. There you can choose what type of output do you want.
Maybe another possibility is to use multiple tiff images for scanning a document with more then one page in one file.
After scanning I can use the cups-pdf printer for converting. :)
As long as there is now way to implement this in skanlite.
Multiple selection is also a great new function. I like to see whats going on with your app.
