1. How do I use ScanView through a proxy or firewall?

Support for using ScanView via an HTTP proxy server is included in ScanView as of version 1.1. Simply check the "Use Proxy Server" option and specify the address and port number of your proxy server in the "Server Options" dialog box.


2. When will there be a Macintosh or Linux port of Scanview?

We don't know. We originally developed ScanView using the wxWidgets "cross-platform" programming toolkit. Unfortunately, wxWidgets has not lived up to our expectations for creating a Mac or Linux version of our software (due in part to the threads and sockets support), so we currently are only distributing a Windows version.

If and when we complete ports of ScanView to these other platforms, it will be announced on the graphics-scanview-announce emailing list; instructions for joining this list are available at the bottom of the ScanView homepage.
