Does Gnome offer any built-in support for either faxing or scanning? If not, anyone have recommended apps that work well under Gnome?

The latest bug, nautilus, you right click for properties and the damned thing crashes, its just ridiculous that it can ever have gone out the door with this.

Also gfax has been arround for a long time, but haven't checked it for a while.

whats More stable, Gnome or KDE4? KDE4 wont be stable till it hits release 4.2 more than likely Tue, 25 Dec 2007 01:09:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Sabz) Comments i do not want to srtart a flamewar http://www.osnews.com/thread?293130 http://www.osnews.com/thread?293130 but gnome developers ignore us (users) when we came with fresh ideas, they hide behind their infamous HIG.

when someone post a bug, it takes a lot of time to get solved. Tue, 25 Dec 2007 18:07:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (enzobelmont) Comments RE: Gnome scanning and faxing http://www.osnews.com/thread?293150 http://www.osnews.com/thread?293150 gfax is maintained at http://gfax.cowlug.org It is a Gtk# programme using either efax or hylafax as backends. Its functionality is rather basic. Unfortunately, the functionality allowing you to send a fax by choosing the gfax "printer" from the print dialogue of any GNOME based app is currently unavailable, since the code hasn't been adapted yet to the latest changes in the GNOME printing architecture. IIRC, George Farris, the maintainer of gfax intended to implement a GNOME independent solution by plugging straight into CUPS, thus sidelining the GNOME print architecure. If he succeeds with this plan, gfax would become available from the printing dialogue of any application, not only GNOME based ones.

(the only other free OCR programme, gocr being essentially useless) Wed, 26 Dec 2007 00:00:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (yahya) Comments
