SUMMARY
In freshly installed Fedora Linux 42 (KDE Plasma Desktop) Skanpage does not
work out of the box and leaves bad impression of unstable and incomplete
desktop environment.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install Fedora Linux 42 (KDE Plasma Desktop)
2. Try to start Skanlite
OBSERVED RESULT
Program does not start, crashes. It is caught by KDE crash handler and Fedora's
own abrt reporter.
EXPECTED RESULT
Even if there were a mistake in packaging, it would be great if Skanlite could
check if required files exist on startup and display an error message about
"missing dependencies". Simple "tesseract package is not installed" would be
much better user experience than crashing. It would be even better if Skanlite
could work without tesseract installed, as some users might prefer scanning
photos and do not require text recognition. Maybe even add alternative OCR
providers in the future?
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows:
macOS:
(available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window)
Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora Linux 42
KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.16.0
Qt Version: 6.9.1
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I saw previous bug reports and one upstream about fixed dependencies, but even
after installing latest updates Skanlite still does not work, and I need to
manually install tesseract.
