The issue is essentially that I bit off more than I could chew, I have a partial rewrite in the works but a new job, covid, and other life stuff have got in the way of finishing it. I'm making progress though slow.
Eventually it will come, including:
- Better cross-platform support (native windows + linux + mac UIs)
- Better programmability
- General architectural improvements
And then that will provide a better platform to more efficiently add new features and make other improvements.

Hi @ben-cyanfish, excited to hear that you are working on something new. I was just reminded again how much I miss a proper document scanning solution on Linux (simple-scan does a terrible job of "white detection" when you scan in color mode!).
Is your current work available somewhere? I checked your public github repos and don't see anything relevant. You might be able to get some help if you open up the repo.
Alternatively, a fix for #775, and merging PR #21 would make NAPS2 already usable on Linux for myself and others (which would be huge for me!)

Hi @ben-cyanfish,
I understand that life is keeping you busy and I would really appreciate an update on the state of things, as it's been over 3 years now since the last update of NAPS2 and people are asking me if the project is dead.
Tank you for the greatest scannel tool ever created.

It's been awhile since last updates to NAPS2, hope all is well :=)
Can you share some light on the NAPS2 future (from development point of view), perhaps :) @ben-cyanfish or @pdeleeuw
Stay safe.

Hi @ben-cyanfish - sure sometimes life comes to define priorities and that's totally fine.
Great to hear you are fine and that NAPS2 is gonna get even more great in the future :)
Any guestimate for timeline (as 1st beta or such), and yeah, when ready :)
All the best!

Hi @ben-cyanfish,
Any progress news? :)
Hope all is fine with you.

Have a look here :) It's been a long time coming but finally a new version is out.
