Thanks for the explanation Oliver. Is this documented anywhere? Do all
the frontends behave the same way in response to bind-resolution? <br>
<br>
My backend only supports the following resolutions in dpi:<br>
75x75, <br>
150x150,<br>
300x300,<br>
600x600,<br>
600x1200<br>
<br>
Therefore, I'll probably just use the resolution option. I was hoping
to be better than the Windows driver and somehow relay information to
the user that when they select 1200dpi they are really getting 600dpi x
1200dpi. I suppose I'll just put that information in the man page.<br>
<br>
Keep up the good work on xsane. It's a terrific front-end.<br>

XSane tries to care about x-resolution, y-resolution and common
resolution options. When the backend tries to automaitcally set
y-resolution when x-resolution was changed this can interfere with the
xsane functions and it also is no good idea.
When the backend wants to make available a common resolution and
separate x- and y- resolution options then it should create three
resolutions options and on selection which of these are enabled:
resolution (range or list)
x-resolution (range or list)
y-resolution (range or list)
bind-resolution (boolean: enabled or disabled)
with bind-resolution enabled only resolution is enabled and defines
x- and y-resolution
with bind-resolution disabled only x-resolution and y-resolution is
enabled.
