Before everyone gets too excited about the merge request: this does add single

be available in Skanpage.

Ultimately I'd like a single app that does both. I think it's pretty cumbersome
to have two apps that to the same task (scanning) but target different use
cases for that task (images vs multi-page documents). I don't think it would be
impossible to come up with a UI that lets a single app do both, even if it was
something as crude as asking the user what they're scanning (images vs
documents) and changing the UI accordingly.

When scanning photos it is important to be able to select and adjust scan area
and to have some kind of automatic naming of the scanned images. Both these
feature examples are almost totally irrelevant when it comes to document
scanning. With multi-page document scanning you want to be able to see and
often organize page order before saving. That is a UI feature that is missing
from Skanlite...

Will Skanpage also support image scanning with at least the same features of
Skanlite? If so, I was wondering whether Skanlite will still have a reason for
existing... If not, I was wondering whether having two different applications
to perform two such similar tasks would be beneficial for users...

Skanlite is optimized for photo scanning. Multi-page document scanning needs a
totally different UI. I'm happy to say that we are now getting such UI with
Skanpage:
https://invent.kde.org/utilities/skanpage

I have long been waiting for somebody to pick up the (multi page) document
scanning part and now it seems we have that :)

Not at all. Just simple-scan is currently nowadays program, what we can use. It
has very few dependencies, therefore could be used also with KDE. It could be
any other FLOSS program, if it does scan to PDF, including multipage PDF.

It is just usual need for everydays life to use PDF-files rather than image
files, especially in case of multiple pages. It would be impractical to use
multiple image files instead of one PDF-file. 

Also using PDF gives appropriate page format for printing. Having just image
file makes it harder to print. Also harder to understand, how image fits onto
A4 or whatever format would be used.

It's not that it's a bad idea, but I'm not sure how it would work beyond what
we're currently doing. Developers already use common libraries as much as
possible if only to be lazy. :) But what's left after that is where most of the
work actually goes, because producing a nice app is *so* much more than just
adding a thin UI wrapper on top of library features. The UI is, like, most of
the work. :)

Dear Nate, 

This is indeed more or less my idea: to do, as much as possible, in common on
commonly used tools, in order to allow developers to concentrate on the
specificities of their DE.

I find that each environment has its advantages and disadvantages; for me,
KDE's track record outweighs Gnome or other DEs; but KDE can't be suitable for
everyone, and that's good, otherwise Linux wouldn't exist.

On the other hand, reducing "what you can't see" to SANE seems to me to be
reductive: it seems to me that some of the code is sandwiched between the stuff
(in Qt or in GTK) that you click on and SANE.
Skanlite as well as Simple-scan are far from offering as many features as Xsane
and its Windows 95 style interface.

The interface to SANE could be "terminal" for all or in GTK or Qt etc... while
offering the same functionality.

This principle seems to me to be extensible to other cases: in instant
messaging, protocols (irc, xmpp, matrix, telegram) and GUIs are not lacking
(konversation, polari, kopete, pidgin, neochat...): wouldn't it be simpler to
use only "libpurple" and its plugins and to graft a GUI to it either in GTK
(Pidgin) or in Qt/qml (Kukupa which means "pigeon" in Maori)? That way the
focus would be more on the code that you don't see but does almost everything
rather than the code that you see but doesn't do much.

I read your blog posts every weekend and I have never read a critical, or
hurtful, word for another DE from you. Unfortunately for many, developing
software is reinventing the wheel, over and over again, to claim that the other
guy can't code.

Instead of favouring the quantity of bad or average software, it seems to me
that free software should favour transversal collaborations to provide less
numerous but better quality software. With the amount of work provided for
several competing software we could have a very good one with two Guis adapted
to our DEs

That's more or less how it actually works. :) The part that's the same (SANE)
is common, and the part you can see (the user interface) is made with different
tools: Qt and GTK and so on.What I think you're trying to say though is that Qt
and GTK shouldn't be separate; we should have a single UI toolkit or set of
low-level application development tools that are common to everybody, and each
environment would just write a custom UI on top of it according to their HIG.

And yeah, that would be great. But Qt and GTK both *do* exist. And
Enlightenment, and Flutter, and a bunch of others. We can't go back in time and
delete them all except for one. For better or worse, we are stuck in a world
with multiple GUI toolkits. And this means that you can't just grab the code
from an app that's written in another GUI toolkit; it doesn't work like that.
To use your car metaphor, it would be like trying to put the engine from a
Volkswagen into a Honda. By the time you made it work, it would have been
easier, cheaper and work better to just get a new engine for the Honda! That's
the situation here with this feature; how SimpleScan implements the feature is
not applicable for Skanlite because of all the other technical differences
between them.

Fortunately, a new scanning app called SkanPage is under heavy development. It
already has this feature and I expect it will eventually replace Skanlite over
time. It uses the same backend SANE library but it's written with a more modern
user interface component set which makes it easier to work on and extend in the
future.

I agree: if "Gnome" can do it with simple-scan, "KDE" should be able to do it
with skanlite too... 

More generally, the desktop environment war shows us a good example of its
harmful character: it would be better to play a winning game for all by
developing applications together according to the toyota principles: 
- everything that is not visible (sane etc...) is common, 
- everything that is visible is specific (Qt or GTK).

Thus it would be possible to develop "one application" and its two graphical
interfaces for our respective desktop environments.

Less dispersion, less waste of resources and more functionality for the users!

I totally agree: a scanning software must offer this archiving format; what
would be good would also be to offer to choose the rights on the pdf produced
(i.e. printing, comments, annotations etc) as well as to personalize the
metadata.

Another format, alternative to pdf, but interesting for long-term archiving, is
djvu (dejavu); on the other hand I do not know if the support of such a format
is complee to implement.

The backend for multipage scanning to pdf is there: e.g. the "convert" command
from ImageMagick will easily merge multiple images files (e.g. jpeg) into a
single pdf. Wouldn't this be "relatively simple" to implement? When feed
scanning, for instance, the images could be placed in a tmp folder and then
"convert" run on them to merge them into a pdf which is output to the
user-selected folder.

On macOS, when selecting pdf as save format, there is an option to merge all
scans into a single file, which is quite convenient.

If any one is interested, Skanpage fulfils exactly what is requested in this
bug report. It works great. Despite Kåre's comment, I even think that it has
the best UI among Skanlite, Kooka and Skanpage.

I was able to compile Skanpage on Debian 9 (stretch, current stable) after
installing qtdeclarative5-dev and qt4-dev-tools (gcc and other lib being
already installed). 

git clone https://cgit.kde.org/scratch/sars/skanpage.git/
cd skanpage/src
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/kde -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug .
make
sudo make install

It runs with:

/opt/kde/bin/skanpage


The only missing feature in Skanpage is the ability to save in png or jpeg (or
other image file formats) as you can only save as PDF.

There are a few quirks:
 * quality profile only changes resolution (not color mode),
 * "Best Quality"-profile is 600 dpi even if the scanner can do better,
 * changes to quality profiles are not saved for the next page,
 * saving does not use the default "Save as" dialog,
 * saving dialog asks for page settings (page size and print resolution)
instead of reusing the scan settings for each page.

Well it is actually not a branch but a dedicated multi-page document scanning
application. It compiles and you can create multi-page PDFs. You can
rearrange/add/remove pages, but I'm not happy with the user-interface for
acquiring the scans and the scanner-settings. I have not been able to test it
extensively either since my Canon scanner does not work very well with sane...

The main UI is done with QML, but the scanning options provided by libksane are
widget based. 

To make it work nicely, libksane should provide a model with the options maybe
even a QAbstractItemModel for the "unknown" options and a set of ready made
widgets and QML components to set the properties and display previews.

My itch to continue is unfortunately weak. I only scan documents maybe once
every two years...

Interestingly, Skanlite development page [1] lists open bug with max 40 votes
(=2 voters) but not this bug report with 292 votes from 18 voters. As strange
as it can be, changing its status to UNCONFIRMED would actually makes it more
visible.

Skanlite git repo does not have a branch with Kåre Särs' changes to implement
multipage scans in December 2015 [2]. Hopefully, we will be able to find it
back.

Once Skanlite has multi-image support, they can be saved as a multi-page PDF
with QtPdfWriter [3].

--- Comment #8 from Kåre Särs  ---
I think the UI needs are quite different for PDF (multi-page document) scanning
so it does not fit the current Skanlite UI, but I finally got enough
inspiration to start something (a sponsoring offer pushed me a bit too ;)

https://quickgit.kde.org/?p=scratch%2Fsars%2Fskanpage.git

The raw start is here, but it is not ready for prime time yet. It needs Ki18n
translations and some page size/printing features before we can try a first
release. It needs threaded image saving and threaded PDF saving. 

To work properly Skanpage needs some fixes from libksane master (some of it
could maybe be back-ported to 15.12)

It totally lacks the OCR feature at the moment but I don't think it should be a
big problem to get some output through tesseract

I'd really like to have this feature as well. It's *the* show-stopper for
skanlite.

I'm using gscan2pdf to date for scanning. In case someone's interesting in
implementing PDF support in skanlite, I strongly suggest looking at the
gscan2pdf source (perl script) for inspiration how to generate a PDF (it's
using imagemagick to achieve this, afaiu).

Code: http://sourceforge.net/p/gscan2pdf/code/ci/master/tree/bin/gscan2pdf
