Dear Maintainer,

When I start simple-scan with "All Pages From Feeder" as source (i.e. when this was the source during my last scan session) and if I want to change to use "Single Page", I always got the message "Failed to scan - Document feeder empty".

It is like simple-scan does not take into account the fact I changed the source but keep the last option from start.

I can very easily reproduce it.

Start simple-scan, change the source to "All Pages From Feeder" in the dropdown list at the right-hand side of the "Scan" button and close simple-scan.

Start simple-scan again, it should start with the option "All Pages From Feeder" as source.

Change this option choosing "Single Page" and try to scan a document clicking on the button "Scan".

You should get the message "Failed to scan - Document feeder empty".

Workaround is to select "Single Page" option, close simple-scan and re-start it.

Hope it will help.

Regards,

Jean-Marc

P.S. Thank you so much creating this program I use a lot !

Hi,

Please find attached the log messages I got reproducing the problem.

First part is starting simple-scan, setting the source to "All Pages
 From Feeder" and closing it.

Second part is re-opening simple-scan, trying to scan and getting the
error message, then changing back to "Single Page", trying again and
always getting the same message "Failed to scan - Document feeder empty".

I hope this help.

Regards,
