Description Axel Krebs 2012-01-21 09:35:56 UTC 
Version:           1.0 (using KDE 4.7.3) 
OS:                Linux

WISH

I would like to see _al_ relevant information within the settings menu. 
At the momnent, I do not find an icon for scanners.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
just have a look at settings

Actual Results:  
unsatisfying situation: the settings menu is not complete at all. 
As a consequence, one has to check settings menu _and_ individual configurations. 

Expected Results:  
should be a central settings/configuration place. 

OS: Linux (x86_64) release 3.0.0-15-generic
Compiler: gcc

unconfirmed?
Why hasn't anybody bothered to open their system settings to confirm whether, or not, there is a scanner dialog to go with the others such as camera, tablet, or printer setup options?

Please respond.
Kindest regards;
Scorch.

Normally there is nothing to configure in systemsettings for scanners.

In openSuse I have seen that you can add/remove scanners in yast, but that is only for specifying if the scanner can be used or not. On Ubuntu ther is nothing to configure. The scanner should "Just Work" :)

Yeah, there's not really a need for a config UI here because everything "just works". For multifunction devices, typically the scanner is attached to a printer which is configured via the printers KCM. Perhaps we could rename it "Printers & Scanners" or something. That's what macOS does.
