Public bug reported: (This is my first bug report.) Simple-scan was not able to start after a previous crash. The first crash is not my concern. My concern was that I could not restart Simple-scan.
I found the way to restart simple scan: I deleted the folder ~/.cache/simple-scan/ I think this comes from the autosave feature that tries to reload the previously scanned page when application restarts. In my case the scanned page that caused the original crash was 1,7 GB big (the size of the file 166455856.pixels in ~/.cache/simple-scan/autosaves) since I used the highest resolution (2400 ppp). So I did not want to reload this file, I wanted to be able to start a new scan. I attached the debug output of a "simple-scan -d" launch. Maybe simple- scan could be made immune from glib errors at startup and start without loading the previously scanned document in this case. I think it will be in the attached debug information but I mention it to be sure: I am running Ubuntu 14.10. And for information, the original crash that happened when I scanned with a too high resolution was on Ubuntu 14.04.
