[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1886279] Re: simple-scan pdf compression
As a user I like to know what happens inside things. I would like a combo-box in "preferences" giving the following choices for saving to pdf: 1) Jpeg or zlib (smallest one chosen for each image) -> default 2) Jpeg only (lossy) 3) Zlib only (lossless) Your proposition is much simpler, however it remains opaque to users. It depends on the audience you target. Note: I just installed everything to disable jpeg compression in a local build (quick hack) and debug the program. It is my first time with Vala + Gtk. So we may have more technical discussion now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to simple-scan in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1886279 Title: simple-scan pdf compression Status in simple-scan package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Hello, PDF compression cannot appropriately be configured.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1770861] [NEW] Black & white/greyscale/color scanning selection is not obvious
Public bug reported: I use Ubuntu 17.10 and simple-scan 3.26.3. 1) The choice for scanning mode is "Text" or "Photo". 2) The preferences dialog allows to specify different values for "Text resolution" and "Photo Resolution". For the non-guru user some kind of weak logical conclusion is that "Text" mode is lower resolution because we need less, and "Photo" is higher because obviously we want our holiday pictures to be top notch :) I scanned a document written with different colors using "Text" mode, just to discover that everything was black! After some experimentations and some googling, it appears that I am not the only one puzzled by this. Many people are fighting to find the black & white VS color mode choice. The truth seems to be: "Text" is black & white (or maybe greyscale I do not know), and "Photo" is color. What about colored text and black & white pictures? There are two dimensions to take into account: * black & white/greyscale/color * low/high resolution The two words "Text" and "Color" are not correct representatives of this. Maybe you could start to give a more precise meaning like: * Black & white 150dpi (recommended for text) * Color 300dpi (recommended for pictures) And let the well informed user choose. Thank you ** Affects: simple-scan (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to simple-scan in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1770861 Title: Black & white/greyscale/color scanning selection is not obvious Status in simple-scan package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I use Ubuntu 17.10 and simple-scan 3.26.3. 1) The choice for scanning mode is "Text" or "Photo". 2) The preferences dialog allows to specify different values for "Text resolution" and "Photo Resolution".
