gscan2pdf output

Description of problem: After a successful scan, gscan2pdf's save option remains unavailable, thus preventing from saving the document.


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


How reproducible: Each time I run the program.


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start gscan2pdf.
2.Scan one or more pages.
3.Close the scanning window.
  
Actual results: Save menu option and icon remain gray.

Expected results: Save option to be available right away after successful scan.

Additional info: The email scanned document remains available, but hen I try to send the document I get an error message instead from Thunderbird, and a message from gscan2pdf: "Error compressing image: sh: tiffcp: command not found." Once I close this last message window, I get the following: "Error creating PDF image object: Wrong TIFF Id '' (should be 42). at /usr/share/perl5/PDF/API2/Resource/XObject/Image/TIFF.pm line 408." Finally, when I close gscan2pdf with the scanned document, I do not get a warning to save it before closing. I am adding an attachment with the output from the command prompt.

Comment 1 Konstantin Ryabitsev 2010-04-28 18:28:33 UTC
Yeah, it definitely requires libtiff-tools to allow saving of documents. Boricua: you can fix by running "yum install libtiff-tools".

Ahhh, a missing dependency! gscan2pdf is now working beautifully after installing libtiff-tools. Thanks, Konstantin.

Comment 3 Bernard Johnson 2010-05-03 18:19:56 UTC
Thanks, I'll make sure this is updated in the next build.

Comment 8 Boricua 2010-05-11 13:36:22 UTC
The update fixed the issue, as well as that reported in bug 581136. However, I started noticing an unusual delay when gscan2pdf tries to search and update setting configurations for my two scanners, forcing me sometimes to abort and trying again. I just noticed this behavior after installing this latest update. Please let me know if I should file a new bug report.

Comment 9 Bernard Johnson 2010-05-11 16:11:06 UTC
There were no changes that should have caused something like that.  I'd suggest that you:

a) try a reboot and see if that clears it up
b) remove the gscan2pdf-0.9.30-6 update and replace with the current released package (gscan2pdf-0.9.30-3) and see if it still happens

If you're still seeing the issue, please open another bug report; Also if it appears to be a regression between version, note that in the new bug report.

Comment 10 John Paul Adrian Glaubitz 2010-05-12 08:15:42 UTC
Hi,

hmm, I just updated gscan2pdf from the testing repository and this did not install the libtiff-tools over dependencies (see output below). Am I missing something?

Comment 11 John Paul Adrian Glaubitz 2010-05-12 21:16:42 UTC
Hi,

I forgot to add. "libtiff-tools" were not installed at the time I tried to install "gscan2pdf-0.9.30-6.fc13.noarch" from the testing repository. So, unless I am missing something the package still doesn't install the missing dependency "libtiff-tools" and therefore saving to PDF still doesn't work unless I manually install the "libtiff-tools" package.

I can confirm that a reboot did not solve the issue, but downgrading from gscan2pdf-0.9.30-6 to gscan2pdf-0.9.30-3 did the trick.  Updating of my two scanners' options is now much more fast and flawless with the current released package, contrary to the update.

Comment 14 Bob Schultz 2010-06-09 15:36:00 UTC
gscan2pdf-0.9.30-3 gets hung on scan completion. See screenshot. Cancellation
and rescan, sometimes multiple times, is necessary.

gscan2pdf-0.9.30-6 does not work at all.

no scan images are produced, and new scan requests are always for page 1.
gscan2pdf worked fine in F12 on this machine before upgrade to F13. For what
it's worth, this is a 64-bit system using a i7-920 cpu with a hp5590 scanner.
Regression to 0.9.30-3 restores the fractured functionality.

Debug printout of 0.9.30-6 scan attempt

This is a debug run of 0.9.30-6, which doesn't produce any scan images.

Comment 16 Alex Lancaster 2010-06-17 18:49:31 UTC
I can also confirm comment #11, the "Requires: libtiff-tools" has still yet to be added in this update to allow saving of PDFs.

I had problems initially too with 0.9.30-6.  Then I deleted my ~/.gscan2pdf file and re-ran it and scans now work.  

And, although I still get console messages like this:

*** unhandled exception in callback:
***   Can't call method "hide_all" on an undefined value at /usr/bin/gscan2pdf line 5437.
***  ignoring at /usr/bin/gscan2pdf line 12063.

They don't appear to be fatal to generating and saving as a PDF.

Comment 18 Bob Schultz 2010-06-20 16:56:30 UTC
Successful resolution to my comments 13,14,15, and confirmation (and thanks) of advise in comment 17. I also deleted my ~/.gscan2pdf file, and voila, both version 0.9.30-3 and version 0.9.30-6 now work fine from the tests I've run so far. This system started as a fresh F12 install in Nov. and was recently upgraded to F13. Possibly the config file was remnant from the F12 version, and led to corruption problems. In any case, it appears that deletion of the config file should be the first step in troubleshooting, and possibly the install process should delete or rename the file on upgrades.
