  1. Hey, it turns out that GNOME's "Document Scanner" application (Simple Scan) actually _can_ do Optical Character Recognition, running a post-processing script. It's just really, really, really not obvious (nor easy to set up): gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/simple-

    As a stopgap, here's my proposed UI lipstick fix just so that the existing UI's purpose can be understood: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/simple-

    I'm hoping to see a built-in implementation someday.

  2. Another newcomer-friendly UX papercut enhancement idea for GNOME's "Document Scanner" (Simple Scan) app: providing the page cropping aspect ratio presets directly as a split menubutton for the cropping action in the toolbar: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/simple-

  7. Finally realized what has been bugging me for years with the GNOME "Document Scanner" (Simple Scan) app's cropping feature: it doesn't set the mouse cursors to indicate where and how you can interact to adjust the cropping rectangle.

    I filed this issue with some hints, so that any newcomer can contribute a fix for it: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/simple-

    (BTW, there's a similar papercut in GNOME Calendar: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-c)

  12. Ran out of characters limit in the toot above, so here's another recently added example of a #GNOME app that would benefit from an in-app error/success notification with "Open Folder" action button: Simple Scan, the GNOME paper document scanner. gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/simple-

  14. @AdrianVovk @zed Well it seems that we start from different premises, and then (unsurprisingly) we reach different conclusions. For me the indication of scroll bars is information and thus absolutely no noise and thus should not be hidden.

    Here is an example of where this totally fails in #Gnome - more precisely in #SimpleScan. I scanned three empty pages and the UI somehow decided to hide the horizontal scroll bars completely, showing only two of the pages:

  15. Mon #bug du jour sous #simplescan, avec #linux: suite à l'enregistrement du document scanné, SimpleScan affichait : "L'execution du processus fils a échoué (aucun fichier ou dossier de ce nom)"

    Solution: il suffit de décocher "Activer le post-traitement" dans les préférences (SimpleScan a continué à m'afficher l'option active, mais fait disparaitre le sous-menu... autre bug mineur...)

    Wer seinen Scanner unter Linux ­einsetzen will, braucht oft keine speziellen Treiber, Linux erkennt ihn automatisch. Klappt es nicht, gibt es eine Alternative. Scanner unter Linux nutzen
  18. @tk meine aktuelles Problem war mit #windows.

    Aber ja, unter #Linux hab ich #SimpleScan schon benutzt und das hat soweit ich mich erinnere gut/ok funktioniert!

  19. Had a scare today! Tried to scan and my scanner kept giving me black pages. Tried both #simplescan and #xsane. Nothing! I don't believe in hardware randomly quitting though so I unplugged it from my laptop and plugged it into the desktop (a USB port in the back). Found a version of Simple Scan in the AUR that literally says it's the good version in the description. Successfully scanned all the work I had. Whew!!!

  20. @beli3ver normalerweise kannst du bei #simplescan auch oben auf den Pfeil neben Scannen -> "alle Seiten vom Papiereinzug".

  21. @beli3ver

    #simplescan funktioniert mit meinem #Brother Multifunktionsgerät MFC-J4410DW auch vom Einzug.

    Liegt es vielleicht am Treiber?
