Ah, indeed I mixed up the images wrt. the save button. By all means put
it back, yes!

To put in my 2c about the mode selector, I actually like the
"postprocessing" option, so that you can scan once, and then quickly
switch between them to see what is more appropriate (you might scan a
document which is mostly text, but has a few embedded graphics in it
which you want to keep as color). But I figure this is a bigger
structural change which might not be suitable for lucid, so a dropdown
menu "scan text"/"scan photo" sounds fine. After you used the
application once, you only ever want to use the keyboard shortcuts
anyway, I figure. Like Ctrl+T and Ctrl+P? Or even better, a single key
such as 't' and 'p' or F2 and F3?

Status in Simple Scan: Fix Committed
Status in “simple-scan” package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed

Bug description:
The current toolbar, whilst simple, could better guide new users through the process of scanning a document. In particular adding a save button (users generally don't look in menus) and a label for the crop button would make it just that little bit more obvious (this is particularly important as in my experience, workstations used for scanning are shared so this might well be many's first experience of Ubuntu). This change is inline with the gnome hig section on toolbars and is consistent with the menu.

I have made all necessary changes in the attached branch and added several screenshots. Note that I also had to change the order slightly for the icons to fit in.
