Description David Given 2023-07-31 21:06:24 UTC

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Scan something.
2. Open the 'Export PDF' dialogue.
3. Type in a filename like '/tmp/something.pdf' into the File box and press the Save button.

OBSERVED RESULT

A toast pops up saying the file has been saved, but no file is actually created.

EXPECTED RESULT

File gets saved!

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

If I type in a filename beginning with file:///tmp/something.pdf, the file _does_ get created, so it sounds like something isn't handling the lack of a file handler properly.

Can confirm, this is quite bad. Marking as Critical since this could lead to unintentional data loss. I'll try to look into it soon.

Are you able to test Skanpage version 23.08 to confirm?

Comment 3 Nate Graham 2023-09-11 17:01:37 UTC

Right right, I was testing with 23.04. Can confirm it's fixed in 23.08 and current git master. Thanks for the tip!
