    Inspector Twain bug

    First off, good job on a user-friendly utility for testing TWAIN drivers. For a long time now developers and users have needed a good way to know which DS's are following the specification and which ones fall short. I hope your utility can become the gold standard.

    Anyway, I tried Inspector Twain 2.0.0.3 on a DS that my company is currently shipping. It reported one error that didn't make sense to me. For ICAP_PIXELFLAVOR it reported "MSG_SET failed even through [sic] the driver indicates it's supported". I stepped the code and found that your utility is using an enumeration when setting the pixel flavor. I believe this is a bug since the 1.9 specification states that you can GET the pixel type as an enumeration or a single value but it must be SET using a single value.

    Please let me know what you think about this. Once this problem is resolved I'd like to submit my company's products to your database.

    Correct, MSG_SET for that capability only allows a single value.  I'm guessing your DS does not support MSG_GETCURRENT on that capability.  When that's the case we end up setting the value to what we received from MSG_GET (blindly).

    I'll try to get this fixed soon, including the typo.

    How will I know when a new version is posted? I was unable to find any version information on http://www.inspectortwain.com.

    When a new install is added I'll make sure the download page provides a date and version.  The issues you talked about were fixed the next day, but it sometimes takes a while before the new installer is created and updated on the site.  It may not be released until Monday.

    You mentioned a new release 3 weeks ago. Should we expect it any time soon?

    We keep having delays in getting it released.  Right now it looks like sometime next week.
