DIY Book Scanner

On the Scan Tailor developers mailing list, Petr Kovář has been working steadily on a command-line version of Scan Tailor. In his own words (emphasis mine):

Petr Kovář wrote:Hi all,

I've just pushed latest chages to cli branch. It is possible now run scantailor
from command line and change almost all attributes accessible from GUI including
manual content box setting. Page splitting filter is, however, not working for
unknown reasons yet.

I would appreciate some testing and feedback from you. After compiling run
scantailor -h for more information. -v for verbose mode.

TODO:
-- working with project files
-- make page splitting work

best regards,
Petr

I've asked Petr for a Linux binary, and Tulon himself has produced a Windows binary for us to test. Please, take a moment and test out this exciting new version of Scan Tailor - which will allow all kinds of automation for our future scans! Also, my thanks go out to Petr - many of us have wanted a CLI to Scan Tailor for quite some time.

Tulon's Windows binary is here.
I'll update when a Linux or Mac version become available.

For those of you who know what Git is and how to use it:
git checkout --track -b cli origin/cli

Keep in mind it will overwrite your existing Scan Tailor installation unless you specify a different installation directory.

I tried the Windows binary, but typing scantailor -h or scantailor -v just starts the GUI version for me. Control-C in the command window returns "QObject::killTimers: timers cannot be stopped from another thread", closing the GUI from the GUI returns the command prompt with no message. "Help/About" in the GUI tells me I'm running CLI-2011-02-17. I'm running Windows XP SP3, if that makes a difference.

That happens when a non-Qt GUI thread tries to terminate the application. Bugfix, anyone?

Hi Sir Daniel,

I wish that all the scantailor's imaging features can be process CLI's
then excited to test it..

Just please post the site where to download it,

Thanks

Hey E^3, it is exciting, isn't it?

Here's ST CLI for Linux/Debian: http://depositfiles.com/en/files/mc0djznb5
Here's ST CLI for Windows (has some problems right now) http://depositfiles.com/files/icy7sgqos

Please beta test these and send back your results.

I'm unable to test binary build for Linux

compiled version does not matches my GLIBC version so I need source code in order to try to build for my environment or, if possible, developer must try to build avoiding these problems, making app statically

Scan Tailor's git repository:
git://scantailor.git.sourceforge.net/

Hello Sir Daniel,

Good Morning.

Aye Sir! I will test it , then send a feed back to this Forum.
Actually this is a missing link in my Robot Scanner Software(its a miracle for Sir Tulon initiative)

Thanks and more power

I was able to get the ST CLI version to successfully compile in Mac OS X. What's the best way to package that for other users? Is there a static compilation option?
