First of all, a little warning:
One person has reported, that a preview scan in QuiteInsane made the sensor of his scanner hit the
scanbed. This happened with an Umax Astra 2200. If you ever hear a loud noise during scanning,
switch of your scanner immediately !!
This problem should be fixed in version 0.3-alpha.
(It was actually a bug in the backend, which was triggered by QuiteInsane)
Please read the documentation shipping with SANE, too.
QuiteInsane is a graphical frontend for SANE("Scanner Access Now Easy"). The intention behind SANE is to provide a standard application programming interface to access raster scanner hardware. In theory, a graphical frontend like QuiteInsane should work with every hardware supported by SANE. While QuiteInsane normally works (relatively :-) stable, it's still possible that you encounter problems with some Scanners/backends.
QuiteInsane is designed for usage with scanners (flatbed/hand-held). It has never been tested with other devices like cameras e.g.
