Package: xsane Version: 0.99+0.991-2 Severity: wishlist If this makes more sense as a preferences option, by all means keep it there. I have a lot of scanners, in piticular the HP ScanJet 3300C. I do about 10-20 captures a week, and the light is very bright! I normally only see it when I swapping items to capture. For the time being I've taped a thin piece of paper over the area where I see the bulb (so I don't go blind before I'm 40).
If bulb life is an issue (constant on/off), maybe a selectable time-out option is better. (in seconds?) Thanks for your time and effort!
