[Bug 499416] Re: Scanner not detected when connected after program start

 

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

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?
