I would really like to encourage Qimage to seriously consider porting Qimage to Linux. A lot of us professional users (and recently - non-professionals, too!) are trying our best to get away from Windows, but we need tools! We have VueScan for scanning, OnlyOffice or LibreOffice, it would sure be great to have Qimage on Linux as well. I'd love to see Qimage get out ahead of the curve and really be ready as new users arrive from Windows.

I'm sure I'm not the first to make this suggestion, so thanks for entertaining my comments.

I appreciate the sentiment but I'll be honest and up front by saying that's not going to happen.  Linux is still such a niche market that it we would never recover even the R&D.  R&D which would be substantial since Qimage Ultimate is intimately "hooked in" to Windows.  If by some miracle (and I would consider it a miracle because I DO like Linux) it takes off and starts to overtake Windows, the most we might do is try to bring Qimage One to Linux as I believe the macOS version of Qimage One would likely make more sense to port.

Regards,
Mike
