Hello,
when I send a fax, I'd like to be able to confirm not only that it has
been sent
successfully but also what exactly has been sent. There seem to
be no easy way to do this with
current hylafax, unless I'm missing
something.
My understanding is that, when a fax is queued,
hylafax converts it to
tiff and adds "fax:" lines in the qfile pointing to the generated tiff
files. After successfully sending the fax (that is, the generated
TIFFs are transmitted), notify is
called with reason "done", but at
that point the "fax:" lines have already been removed, together
with
the generated TIFFs.
So there is no way to see what exactly has been sent, nor to generate
a
report showing that. Eventually it is possible to generate a report
showing what has been submitted
(the original document, before hylafax
converted it to tiff, which is still available and listed in
the qfile
when "notify done" is called). I think this is not good enough, since
during the
conversion there are a number of things that can make the
converted tiff unreadable (mapped fonts,
dithering, color rendition,
uncaught errors, etc...).
Is it possible to delay the removal of the
"fax:" lines and generated
tiff files until AFTER "notify done" is called?
Also, it might be useful
to add another event upon which
"notify" is called, which is "document converted", meaning that the
transmission tiff has been generated and the qfile updated with its
path). So that a client
application can let the user check what is being
transmitted even before it is actually
transmitted.
Regards,
LB
