Title:
  Document title set to /tmp/simple-scan-XX.pdf instead of saved file
  name

Status in Simple Scan:
  Triaged
Status in “simple-scan” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: simple-scan

  When scanning a document and then saving it as a pdf file, I would
  expect the document metadata InfoKey Title attribute to be  something
  related to the document's user-set file name or a specified title.
  Currently, simple-scan appears to use the intermediate temporary file
  name for this value, instead of the final file name set by the user.
  For example:

  InfoKey: Title
  InfoValue: /tmp/simple-scan-RNA6PV.pdf

  This means that the panel button and window border identifiers in the
  default viewer (evince) show the temporary file name, not the
  final/current one, making window identification more difficult.

  I would prefer to see it default to the file name set by the user in
  the save dialog, e.g.

  InfoKey: Title
  InfoValue: User-supplied-file-name-no-path-or-extension

  An alternative would be to provide for the document title to be
  explicitly set by the user using a separate field in the simple-scan
  file save as dialog.

  This is reported based on my experience with Simple Scan 1.0.3 on
  Ubuntu 9.04 (Linux Mint 9)
