I have made a TWAIN Data Source.
Which I followed directive from Twain and based on their demo package (In Xcode only).

The thing is :
- It does not get recognized by the Image Capture software available on X.

I have a Canon scanner that gets recognized by.
When I compare my package and his.
The difference is that the main module under MacOs his kind is Application.
When I build mine with CW is kind is "Document" is there a way to change that ?

Here is what it says about the construct of a Twain DS

TWAIN Data Sources can be CFM or Mach-O based. They must be implemented as a bundle (see the section
TWAIN DS packaging below).

BTW: What is a CFM ?

If you want to know more about the Packaging:
On the web it as a pdf file with an image of how it should look like.

Your first stop for questions like this should really be
http://developer.apple.com/ . Entering CFM in the search field there
yields a good answer.

Thanks for the hint. Now would that solve my problem with the recognition of my ds ?
My first problem and probably the most important one (I think, is how come the module get info is
not what is suppose to be)
I think that is more a problem relative to CW because it is the one building the bundle.
Can you tell me what you think?
