KScannerButtons is a daemon plus a KDE application for monitoring your scanner buttons:

Perform a copy with one button press,
Send a paper document via email,
Open a paper document in gimp with one button press...

It's composed of a daemon (sanebuttond) and a frontend that will display an icon in the systray and a dialog box to configure and launch the daemon, KScannerButtons.kmdr.

KScannerButtons is based on the button monitoring capabilities found in some SANE backends. It has been tested with the avision backend, and a HP 5300C scanner. I read on some mailing lists that the fujitsu backend may also support buttons monitoring (but never tested).

The daemon may be used outside of the KDE environment (I should release it separately).

Requirements:
KDE
SANE

What's New in This Release:
Some more bug fixes (test mode was no more working since 0.9.2).
Enhancement of the test buttons script.
