Simple Scan is an easy-to-use application, designed to let users connect their scanner and quickly have the image/document in an appropriate format.

Simple Scan is basically a frontend for SANE - which is the same backend as XSANE uses. This means that all existing scanners will work and the interface is well tested.

Version 46 (downloaded as a system package) has issues: horizontal navigation bar blips in-out-of existence; crop feature isn't automatic, and must be activated with right click (if there's a hot key, I can't make it work). RESOLUTION = I'm uninstalling the app and reinstalling it using the flatpack release, that's version 49.x. RESOLVED = all functions from earlier version now active. Update to latest version (avoid version 46 pushed by Mint 22.2).

A great example of a zero-configuration utility which just works out of the box!

Does what it should, works under LM 21.1 with a Canon-Scanner Lide 110 without (not available) driver from Canon. But I miss function in coloured documents to set background white. Now the white background comes bright-grey. For example in text-documents with coloured symbols.

I've used it for years and by far the most useful set of features I've seen in Mint. This version is very old and the developers are still quite active. Considering building my own, updated version.

It found my Wifi Brother HL2390DW and scanned pages just fine. Well done.

Definitiv der beste Scanner, den ich unter Linux kenne. Leider zwischenzeitlich nicht einsatzbereit und erst nach längerer Recherche wieder zum Laufen gebracht. Ansonsten wärmstens weiterzuempfehlen.

Excellent software. Unfortunately, mint provides a very old version that is not maintained any more (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/simple-scan/-/issues/279#note_1321876)

Simple and immediately able to scan. Wishlist: grayscale scanning - it's fast and makes smaller files for emailing.
