GNOME doesnt have a scanning application (much needed) and recently I wrote a report to add a configuration panel for capture devices for control center. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781427 2017-05-01 16:07 GMT-03:00 Kunal Jain <kunaa...@gmail.com>: > The features you described look promising, some of which we surely lack > and are useful.
