# Scriptdir specifies where scanbd normally looks for scripts.
# The scriptdir option can be defined as:
# - a path relative to the configuations (<path>/etc/scanbd) directory
# - an abosolute path
# Examples:
# scriptdir = scripts
# sets scriptdir to <path>/etc/scanbd/scripts.
# scriptdir = /some/path
# sets scriptdir to the specified absolute path
# Default scriptdir is <path>/etc/scanbd, this is normally appropriate
scriptdir = /etc/scanbd/scripts
# Scripts to execute upon device insertion/removal.
# It can be necessary to load firmware into the device when it is first
# inserted. For example, scanbuttond backend does not know how to load
# scanner firmware, and it can be rectified by making a custom script.
# A simple command like "scanimage -L" in an example insert.script
# invokes saned and it loads the appropriate firmware if necessary.
# These scripts receive environmental variables named in the "environment" subsection:
# SCANBD_DEVICE - device name (fixed string "dbus device" for dbus notification)
# SCANBD_ACTION - "insert" or "remove", so one script can be used.
# device_insert_script = "insert.script"
# device_remove_script =
# scanbuttond_backends_dir sets the path where scanbd looks for the scanbuttond backends
# It can be defined as relative path, starting from the scanbd config directory or
# as an absolute path
# Default is <libdir>/scanbd/scanbutond/backends
# Example
# scanbuttond_backends_dir = "/usr/local/lib/scanbd/scanbuttond/backends"
