SUMMARY When I scan a document wirelessly, it opens a dialog with the scanned result. After saving the document, for some reason, skanlite sometimes runs the scanner again. This sometimes happens and sometimes doesn't, if I recall correctly. I'm not sure what triggers it. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Run skanlite 2. Preview a document 3. Make a selection in the preview 4. Scan the document 5. In the document that pops up, save the document (I used PDF) OBSERVED RESULT The documents gets saved, and the dialog closes, but the scanner is scanning again unnecessarily (sometimes). EXPECTED RESULT The document gets saved and the dialog closes only SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: Manjaro Linux KDE Plasma Version: KDE Plasma 5.27.10 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.113.0 Qt Version: 5.15.12 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I am using an HP Officejetpro 8620 via network (laptop connected wirelessly, scanner is via ethernet). I am using the flatbet scanner at 300dpi.
Hi, Thanks for the report, I think the reason might be that you have not disabled the automatic area detection and it has probably detected two areas and then go on to scan the next area. Might that be the issue?

Hello, my apologies for not replying sooner. I wanted to revisit the bug when I wanted to do another scan, but this didn't happen as soon as I thought. I tried to replicate this issue on my machine, but for some reason I couldn't. Perhaps a newer version of skanlite was instaleld that solved this issue? I also tried to trigger the automatic area detection to see if that was the issue. but for some reason it just wasn't working for me. To do this, in the configure dialog, I made sure that "Disable automatic selections" is unchecked. I then scanned two separate flyers on my flatbed scanner to ensure that it can clearly detect two items. But it didn't seem to detect a single item. I'm not sure if I'm doing anything wrong here.
Thanks for the update. The area detection maybe just could not find the two areas... If you cannot reproduce the unexpected behavior, maybe we can leave this as WORKSFORME? /Kåre
