Description Matthias Clasen 2005-10-14 18:36:34 UTC

Should it not be there ? We probably want to use a better name than Ubuntu
though, which calls the menu item just "Xsane"

Comment 1 Ray Strode [halfline] 2005-10-28 19:32:01 UTC

This was discussed a bit today and the general consensus is that we adding a
menu item isn't really the right approach.  We should do the work to get this
working better dynamically (in the same way that thumb drives work, etc)

Comment 2 Nils Philippsen 2006-03-07 08:37:59 UTC

Ray, would you elaborate a bit? Xsane provides some functionality I don't see in
any other program (e.g. scan to fax) so it's a bit dissatisfactory to not have
it in any of the menus.

Comment 3 Ray Strode [halfline] 2006-03-07 15:16:52 UTC

Hi, 

I don't really remember the discussion, but I assume I meant that Xsane should
just start if you plug in a scanner or turn your scanner on.

Comment 4 Nils Philippsen 2006-03-07 16:52:04 UTC

So to start xsane again (after quitting), I'd have to plug out/re-plug or switch
off/on the scanner? That's kind of ... gross ;-).

Comment 5 Nils Philippsen 2006-03-07 16:54:14 UTC

Besides, I don't think my SCSI scanners would be recognized when switched on
anyway (I have to "echo scsi-add-single-device ..." to use them after powering on).

Comment 6 Nils Philippsen 2006-06-07 13:39:45 UTC

Ray?

Comment 7 Ray Strode [halfline] 2006-06-07 13:50:44 UTC

Okay, let's add it to the menus, but give it a more recongizable name than Xsane. 

Not sure...maybe "Scanner Tool" ?  Is this in the default install?  If not, we
should make it, e.g., "Xsane Scanner Tool".

Comment 8 Matthias Clasen 2006-08-26 06:06:56 UTC

for now, xsane seems to have found its way in the menus.
