ScsiaddGui provides a graphical user interface for the scsiadd - utility.
Scsiadd allows to add or remove SCSI devices like scanners to (from) your
system without having to reboot.
With ScsiaddGui you can do this without typing any shell command with just a
mouse-click.
ScsiaddGui also allows to monitor the presence of USB mass storage devices on your system.
To run ScsiaddGui you need Python >= 2.3 and Tkinter,
Tcl / Tk >= 8.4,
and of course Scsiadd.
All these should be included in your distribution; if one of them is not, you
might find pre-compiled RPMs at www.rpmseek.com
or www.rpmfind.net.
ScsiaddGui is licensed under the terms of the Gnu General Public License.
I think everything should work o.k., however if you encounter problems,
please contact me.
Still the RPM is designed for Mandrake, so on other distributions you
might get trouble with the dependency check. If this happens, you need to
install with "--nodeps" or use the tar.bz2-package instead.
I fixed a bug that would have caused problems with Python2.3/Tk8.4 . Also the Control widget has been improved and the gui appearance has been slightly changed. ScsiaddGui remembers now the host/channel/id/lun settings you made on the last session, so maybe you can save a few mouse-clicks.
Gettext i18n support has been added; if you'd like to add a new translation you can edit the pot file you find within the tarball. I also added a fancy two colored output window and tooltip help.
A french translation (contributed by Yves-Gwenael Bourhis) has been added.
Dec. 9 2004: seems like the french translation happend to contain some typos; I've uploaded a fixed version without making a new release.
The contents of ScsiaddGui's display are now automatically updated periodically,
which may be useful to monitor the presence of USB mass storage devices.
Permissions are now handled more intelligently, so now it is possible to use scsiadd
as a non-privileged user if it was installed suid-root
