[Bug 891586] Re: resolution control: setting x/y resolution independently
So what I think Simple Scan should do:
- It can only support images with the same x/y resolutions
- It should support setting x-resolution and y-resolution if the resolution setting does not contain the requested value
- If it still can't get the required resolution (e.g. 600dpi in comment #45) then it should support setting a higher resolution in one dimension and decimating the values (e.g. x-resolution=2400dpi, y-resolution=600dpi, only use every 4 x values).

"Firstly - congratulations for Simple Scan, which lives up to its name admirably!
Xsane is no doubt wonderfully competent, but far too complicated for casual use.
But I am having a problem with Simple Scan, in that I can't seem to get selected resolutions to have any effect.
A typical A4 mainly-text document I am playing with, ends up as:
165K when scanned & saved as text pdf at 75/150/300 or 600dpi...
1.5MB when scanned & saved as text jpg at 75-600dpi
2.2MB when scanned & saved as photo pdf or jpg at 75-600dpi.
My Epson V200 scanner allows normal resolution selection with Xsane or with Epson's iscan application.
Thanks for any suggestions!" - unquote.
I started that thread in December 2010 & still have the same problem today.
As a summary - the resolution control has absolutely no effect on the results.
No error messages (unless I try 2400dpi) & nothing in simple-scan --debug >simple-scan.log
I now have Simple Scan 2.32.0.1-0Ubuntu2 in Ubuntu 11.04.
The scanner is an Epson Perfection V200 Photo & has normal resolution selection in XSane & Iscan.
Thanks!
