I have an Epson Perfection 660 scanner, which needs its firmware uploaded every time before scanning. When i start skanlite, a window pops up for maybe 0.5 seconds, then vanishes. After that nothing visible happens for a minute or two. Then the Skanlite window appears and everything works. Now i know, the firware is being uploaded and i just need to wait a bit, but a new user would think that the application crashed. Reproducible: Always
Thanks for the report. I was not aware of this problem. I have never seen that before. How does scanimage/xsane/... handle the situation?
Well, lets see... xsane: same as skanlite :/ what i didn't notice before is that all three applications print the following 2 lines to stderr (which also answers the question how scanimage handles this): [snapscan] Scanner warming up - waiting 31 seconds. [snapscan] Scanner warming up - waiting 31 seconds. well, maybe i was wrong after all and the firmware isn't the reason - does not change the UI-issue though.
Arek, thanks for the report. My scanner doesn't do firmware uploads so I have been unable to test this. Can you please test and confirm if this issue is still occurring or if this bug report can be marked as resolved. I've set the bug status to "needsinfo" pending your response, please change back to "reported" or "resolved" when you respond, thanks.
Nice to see the old bugs still get attention... Unfortunately I cannot test this, as I don't have a scanner anymore.
