Re: [Bug 192176] Re: Scanner output always JPEG compressed
2010/2/15 Till Kamppeter till.kamppe...@gmail.com: This is a problem of simple-scan not offering the advanced options of the driver. The hpaio SANE driver has the needed functionality. I do not agree. You say that simple-scan and every other frontend should implement the ability to configure the backend. This is bad design because: 1) There is no interoperability between frontends (user must configure each frontend). 2) Every frontend author should take effort and write the code. 3) Code duplication. Please tell if it's hard to implement global backend option and why.

2010/2/16 Robert Ancell robert.anc...@canonical.com: Simple scan now disables compression on drivers that support it Very nice, I'll upgrade to the new version as soon as it propagates to the repository.

[Bug 192176] Re: Scanner output always JPEG compressed
Hello! Recently new SANE frontends started to appear. A very nice one is Simple Scan: launchpad.net/simple-scan However, it's focused on interface simplicity and does not provide a way to set Compression to None in the Advanced Options dialog. Nor it supports command line option not to garble the image. How should I proceed in this case?

2009/5/13 dwelch91 dwelc...@gmail.com: Not commenting on the merits of this defect report, but I will point out that this has been the default in HPLIP since our first release, and was the default in HPOJ, the previous project for HP print/scan support (in other words, this default has been in place for approximately 9 years, it was not changed recently, AFAIK). Hello! As of now, I cannot really confirm or disprove your statement, because I do not have older packages any more. Anyway, is it possible to implement global config option to turn the undesired behavior off?

[Bug 192176] Re: Scanner output always JPEG compressed
Hi Aaron! You say that xsane is your primary frontend. But it doesn't seem to be documented anywhere in xsane manual how to disable the image corruption. A user should not have to play Sherlock Holmes in order to find a way to turn the image corruption off. As of now, the whole feature effectively resembles infamous proprietary Digital Restrictions Management systems. Please, provide a straightforward way to disable image corruption and document it!

[Bug 192176] Re: Scanner output always JPEG compressed
Hi! I'm the original bug submitter and I'm really disappointed that you have set status to invalid. I argue that the new default value for the compression option is *not* a good balance between speed and quality. For me, the new default behavior is a clear *regression* compared to the previous versions. What you say sounds kind of like 90% of users' content is so poor that they will not even notice quality reduction anyway. Please note however, that in some areas such an evident image *corruption* is not acceptable, take for example OCR. I argue that OCR is a very common application for scanners, so most users probably would *not* benefit from image quality loss. Having said all that, it *could* be a sensible default value if a user could easily switch the lossy compression off. As of now, there seems to be no system-wide setting, at least documented, that could switch the image corruption once and for all. It's even not obvious how to turn the image corruption off on program-by-program basis (please see man xsane and xsane html documentation -- there is no mention of compression). It took me considerable amount of time just to understand that this is not a bug but a [mis]feature. I guess many users just started to use higher resolution settings to compensate for quality reduction. Please consider reopening the bug!
