Features

• simple GUI based around stacks and pages

• print stacks and pages, including page annotations
• full undo/redo

new in 0.4:

• basic scanning
• partial creation of .max files (but monochrome images are uncompressed) (also it doesn't create greyscale/colour previews)

new in 0.5:

• better scanning, should now work properly with SANE and most scanners
• stacking/unstacking, moving files between directories, etc.
• colour previews are created (greyscale still not sorry)
• PDF, JPEG and TIFF conversion supported. Results may vary
• View quality menu to trade speed for quality

new in 0.7:

• better multithreaded scanning
• undo/redo
• better PDF support
• preview panes
• OCR engine
• zooming in and out in preview windows (hold down control and use mouse wheel)
• rewritten for QT4
• many many other changes and improvements

new in 0.7.1:

• a few bug fixes

new in 0.8

• first github release
• new icon
• cleaned up README

new in 1.0

• fully ported to QT4
• should build on very modern distributions that don't have QT3

new in 1.0.1

• builds with QT5, including on Ubuntu 20.04 Focal

Future Features

Here's what I'd like it to support:

• more operations on images
• support for more image types (at the moment only JPEG is supported)

If you have other ideas then feel free to let me know on the mailing list.
