Thank you very much Mike. Removing the xsane settings solved the problem.

It would be nice if the problem could be fixed by the developers.

Regards,
Martin

I sometimes have a problem when the preview screen appears but is unusable.

If I remove the xsane settings file then the problem is resolved. Perhaps this will work for you.
rm -r ~/.sane/xsane

Regards,
Mike

    Hello

    Xsane does not display the preview window any more. That makes it
    impossible to select the area that is scanned.

    Everything used to work until march 21. After that date the preview
    window could be started with a work around:
    1. Start xsane
    2. Scan a document
    3. Save the document
    4. Stop xsane
    5. Restart xsane

    Now this work around does not work any more.

    The OS is Linux Mint 21.2 Victoria. My printer/scanner is a Epson
    XP-6100.

    I have sent a mail to [email protected]
    concerning this
    issue on march 21. Up to now nobody has replied to my mail or
    installed
    a fix.

    I depend on proper scans and would highly appreciate a fix.

    Please excuse my bad English. I am not a native english speaker.

    Thank you in advance
    Martin
