[Bug 897469] Re: Simple Scan crashes result in preventable data loss

 

I had an IRC chat with Robert Ancell, here is the relevant transcript
for everyone interested in the progress:


(23:40:07) Michael Nagel: aforementioned session recovery: https://bugs.launchpad.net/simple-scan/+bug/897469 did you have the chance to look at it and know why the gui does not properly refresh?
(23:40:27) Michael Nagel: how do you think about merging it soon?
(23:41:03) robert_ancell: ah, I replied to Timo directly, but I hadn't seen the bug
(23:41:13) robert_ancell: I'll try and merge it next week if it works well
(23:43:06) Michael Nagel: i obviously did not know this. i will post it to the bug, so the other affected people know whats going on behind the scenes...


Timo, could you resolve the issue with refreshing the displayed image? Do you need anything else?

Title:
  Simple Scan crashes result in preventable data loss

Status in Simple Scan:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  As a matter of fact Simple Scan crashes often. Bad drivers, Out Of
  Memory Problems, ...

  These problems should be fixed, but for the meanwhile it would be worthwhile to minimize data and time lost in such cases.
  For the bad drivers cases there already is Bug #564357 but especially for the OOM problem and to take some pressure from the complex Bug #564357 I suggest to look for other ways to minimize data loss.

  Ideas: 
  - save work to temporary files, and optimally allow to recover from such files (can perfectly be combined with the feature request to manually load a file at startup to add pages to that file).
  - ...
