I reinstalled the latest gscan2pdf-version from the yakkety repository
which is 1.5.0 by now, renamed ~/.gscan2pdf and the programm is running
just fine.
Plus: the original issue is solved in this version of gscan2pdf.
Changing the scanning resolution is now persistant.

Thanks a lot for the support and the great application!

This is nothing to do with gimp, but a problem with the file

~/.gscan2pdf

Please rename it, or delete it, and start gscan2pdf again.

(Sorry for being so slow to cooperate on this bug. I only have access to
this computer from time to time.)

I installed gscan2pdf 1.4.0 from the Ubuntu yakkety repository and it
crashes as soon as I start the application. On the command line, I get:

Gimp is installed on the computer.

You don't need the latest Perl or the latest version of any of the
dependencies to try out the latest gscan2pdf. Just try the .deb for
the latest gscan2pdf, and if it doesn't start, give me the error
messages from the command line, and we'll work from there.

I tried to install the latest version manually from the Debian testing package. 
I started to upgrade the dependencies too, but soon got entangled in a net of 
dependencies and decided, I’d better roll back. I would have to upgrade so many 
packages manually, I fear I would endanger the stability of my productive 
machine. Is there no other way to test the latest version?

As to using the PPA: I’m not shure if this would work, since it doesn’t include 
the latest perl etc. packages I need to run the latest gscan2pdf.

What can I do?

In fact, I was only reporting the bug from my Ubuntu machine but I use 
gscan2pdf on a Debian machine. I noticed now that this 
reporting-from-the-other-computer was not very clever. I’m sorry about that.
How do I try the most recent version of gscan2pdf in Debian? Can I also use the 
PPA?

As it is pure Perl, that would work. You could also take the version
from Debian testing or unstable. There are a couple of additionally
dependencies to fulfil, but you can find those there too.

I see that you are using Ubuntu, not Debian. Please install the latest
version from the PPA[1]. If you can still reproduce the bug, start
gscan2pdf from the command line with the --log=log option, open the
scan dialog, quit, and post the log file.

Bug#812884: gscan2pdf: Changing the resolution is not persistant

Package: gscan2pdf
Version: 1.2.3-1
Severity: normal

When I start gscan2pdf, the resolution for scanning is at 50. This is very low
and I increase it every time I use the application. I’d like my choice to be
the default value for the next time I start the application. This would save me
the extra work of changing the resolution every single time.
