How did this expire? IMO it's the most important bug of “simple scan”; it's the only one I ever noticed, and it kind of defeats the “simple” description. Most of the time I open the program first and *then* turn the scanner on… there's no reason why that shouldn't be supported.
Note, the original description no longer applies 100% — there's no “list of scanners” anymore, anywhere in the UI. It simply says there are no scanners, and if you turn it on or connect after the app is running, there's no way to detect it. ** Changed in: simple-scan (Ubuntu) Status: Expired => Confirmed ** Also affects: simple-scan 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/499416 Title: Scanner not detected when connected after program start Status in Simple Scan: New Status in simple-scan package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Turning on my scanner when simple scan is already running does not make it show up in the list of scanners. Perhaps a "rescan devices" button can be added to the preferences if automatically detecting them isn't possible?
