Tom and others, I'd be interested in your feedback on the mode selector
as it's part of the UI that never feels quite like it fits.

The main reason I had it beside the scan button is it only affects the
behaviour of the scan button.  By placing it too far away it is perhaps
confusing as to what it does (changing it doesn't give any visual
feedback).

Some ideas:
- Putting it in the preferences dialog.  Not good as you may be scanning 
different documents at the same time.  Hard to discover.
- Putting it as radio buttons inside the scan dropdown menu.  Hard to discover.
- Making two scan buttons "Scan text", "Scan photo"
- Always scanning in colour and providing a post-processing option, i.e. 
"optimise for text".

The main case for the text mode is otherwise files are too large for
sending/archiving.

(Note any changes would be post 1.0, I think the mode selector solution
is good enough).
