Not necessarily, but take into account a very practical option when
scanning documents (OCR). When I made my comment earlier I was thinking
about the new applications to scan documents for mobile devices, especially
the new features of Dropbox

I usually use the scanner a lot to digitize documents for backup or to
facilitate their sending via e-mail or instant messaging. When I mentioned
adding the feature in gnome-documents I did not do it thinking about how
GNOME is doing things and maybe an application like simple-scan can solve
the problem.

With the above I mean that the applications of gnome (core apps) should
have an option to add files from external sources and I think gnome-photos
will be able to add photo from cameras. I think a button to add files from
external sources is necessary, for example: Add documents from an external
hard drive or pendrive to gnome-documents (copy it to the documents folder)
or from a scanner (start an external application as simple-scan) .
Something similar can happen from audio devices (eg iPod) for gnome-music
or images/videos from a webcam (Cheese) to gnome-photos/videos (totem),
etc.

Probably with gnome-photos the problem of how to import different type of
content will be addressed, since cameras can store photos and videos whose
contents have different applications in gnome. A similar problem would
occur with the scanned documents, since according to their format they will
be displayed in gnome-documents or gnome-photos (even if they are not
photographs) and it is something that I love about paperwork.
With some integration to add scanned documents to gnome-documents it would
be possible for them to appear as documents in spite of their format and
not as photos.

Re: Paperwork : a personal document manager (scanned and PDFs)

[Hugo Alejandro]

I think Simple Scan is not a core app and it's not a bad idea to integrate
scanning and OCR features into gnome-documents (it's the most suitable
application).

GNOME doesnt have a scanning application (much needed) and recently I wrote
a report to add a configuration panel for capture devices for control
center.

Re: UX features for 3.24

[Hugo Alejandro]

Hi, using that thread I have a doubt related with the 751212 bug and which
can be resolved from the perspective of design. How handles gnome-photos
importing videos from cameras?

I mean that other similar software as Gthumb, import all content (photos
and video) and even allows display on the collection and play it in an
integrated way, which is very user friendly, so I wondered how it would work
in gnome-photos and if you have any type of integration with totem to
display video collection and play.

Re: Status Query: file-roller

[Hugo Alejandro]

I would love to file-roller continue developing and integrating best in
nautilus, however, file-roller is also user other desktops.

Thank you.

A bitcoin wallet for gnome

[Hugo Alejandro]

https://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/2013-July/msg00016.html

As proposed, it would be good to consider as having a virtual wallet app for
gnome-core, with support for bitcoin.

It has been several years and now feels safer in the future be used in a
common way, virtual coins so a virtual wallet would be part of any desktop
environment.
