ok... another update... to get this working, I have created a 'shim' for the scanimage executable in /usr/bin. So what I have done is renamed /usr/bin/scanimage to /usr/bin/scanimage_prog, I have then created a shell script that looks like this: #!/bin/bash scanimage_prog --format=tiff --buffermode=...

and after another lightbulb moment, I thought that I would have a think about what is happening, and it turns out that the scanimage command is being done by the user "mayan" and I was testing under the user "root"... funny enough, the following command fails: sudo -u mayan scanimage -v --format=jpe...

Today I have received the scanner... much quicker than I expected... just trying to set it up, but it doesn't seem to want to work. The scanner is seen within the docker image: sane-find-scanner # sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the # result is different from what you e...

OK, I have just bit the bullet and I have just ordered myself a Canon imageFORMULA DR-2580C Document Scanner. Does anyone have any experience with using this with Mayan? I've look at the SANE compatibility, and this is what it says: DR-2580C USB SCSI 0x04a9/0x1608 Complete Hardware provides: Gray/Co...

If you'd like an index that uses the Cabinet label, this example may help: {% if document.cabinets.count == 0 %} None {% else %} {% for cab in document.cabinets.all %} {{ cab.label }} {% endfor %} {% endif %} Thank you for that... just tried it and it works a charm... great for picking out the stra...

Hi @rosarior, good to hear from you again, and thanks for the progress update... it is nice to know that things are going on in the background :) I did wonder if the reason for the wizard was due to the way that the app worked that does all the back end work. Let me know what details would be useful...

Quite like this idea... never thought of doing that way of scanning documents... not that I can think of a way of automating all that you have said. I use the Mayan Staging folder as my method of importing the documents, so at least this might help to remind me what the document is and where it need...

There is an add-on called Document Analyzer, that I think will do that job... but not sure.

I haven't successfully managed to get the add-on working, so I couldn't say for sure what it is like to use.

Hi @winstonsmith, I think that you are most of the way there, but Mayan does rely on the environment variables to get the connection parameters for the python database... so you will need to run it with the environment variables to tell Mayan where to find the database, and what the connection param...

Check permissions. My folder allowed read and execute for mayan user but not delete. Use chmod.

If you are going to use chmod, I believe that the chmod command should be Hope that helps.
