Maybe, maybe not. For the backends/scanners where these are marked as advanced, is there another less-advanced way to set the scan area? For example by choosing a paper size like A4 or Letter. If there is, I think I would classify the well-known scan area options as advanced too. # Never mind that A4 is of course extremely ill-defined as a scan area. # There's neither orientation nor offset information :-/ > What is the general opinion regarding this? > Should they be advanced or not?

Given that there might be less-advanced ways of setting the scan area, mandate might be a bit too strong but we could recommend something of course :-) Hope this helps, -- Olaf Meeuwissen, LPIC-2 FSF Associate Member since 2004-01-27 GnuPG key: F84A2DD9/B3C0 2F47 EA19 64F4 9F13 F43E B8A4 A88A F84A 2DD9 Support Free Software https://my.fsf.org/donate Join the Free Software Foundation https://my.fsf.org/join
