Description Boricua 2010-03-09 12:52:33 UTC
Description of problem: While scanning multiple pages with latest gscan2pdf a window appears with the message "Unknown message: Use of uninitialized value $batch_count in printf at /usr/bin/scanimage-perl line 1199."  When you close that window, a second one appears with the message "Unknown message: Use of uninitialized value $batch_count in numeric eq (==) at /usr/bin/scanimage-perl line 1203."

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gscan2pdf 0.9.30.


How reproducible: When scanning multiple, black and white pages using the document multi-feeder option.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start gscan2pdf
2.Set for multiple black and white scanning.
3.Start scanning
  
Actual results: The above-described message windows appear, although the program keeps scanning normally.


Expected results: No "Unknown message" windows at all.


Additional info: Using Fedora 12 64 bit fully updated with GNOME as desktop. Scanning to a Brother MFC-8460N multifunction machine.

Comment 1 Boricua 2010-04-01 13:26:02 UTC
The issue seems worse than originally reported. While the messages keep coming, the program tends to abort scanning (without crashing) when doing multiple-pages scans. For example, it scans the first two pages from a 10-page batch and then the message window appears and the rest of the batch is not scanned, forcing me to start the process for the remaining pages.

I installed the update and the message window is gone!  Thank you very much.  However, the interruption problem still remains, so they were clearly not related.  I will post a new bug report for that specific issue.

Please do file another bug report.  Also run gscan2pdf from the command line and see if any messages are being emitted to stdout/stderr.  Try to describe what triggers the bug and all other details as best as you can.

I looked at the upstream version control and I don't see any changes to address this new bug, but I'll take a closer look once you post the full details.

I will do.  Right know I'm a little busy but expect to find sometime next weekend to follow your guide and file a new bug report. gscan2pdf is one of the most important projects for me, since I try to run a paperless office.
