Hi! I would like to request considering dropping xsane (the scanning application so the default in openSUSE GNOME) from the default gnome pattern in openSUSE 12.1 in favour of simple-scan [1], which is (as the name suggests) a much simpler and, in my opinion, more usable scanning utility. Simple-scan is also a gtk3 app making it integrate nicely in GNOME 3+. Please note that the request is to drop xsane from the default pattern alone, but not to have it removed from the OSS repo at all. Anyone who wants to use xsane instead could still do a "zypper install xsane" and with the default repositories enabled that would be that.

For factory testers, simple-scan is already in Factory, and you can simply do "zypper in simple-scan" to install and start testing simple-scan. xsane should already be a part of your installation at the moment.

Thanks and bye Hi The HP Device Manager uses the command "/usr/bin/xsane -V %SANE_URI%" for the default scan command, how would this application be able to differentiate between different DE's? And what would be the equivalent simple-scan command?
