Bug Description

I have a ScanSnap which is able to scan in duplex mode at the same speed as simplex. It would be nice if blank pages were automatically detected and deleted so I didn't have to keep switching from simplex to duplex mode in the Preferences, or deleting blank pages after the scan manually.

It would also be nice if it were easier to switch between simplex and duplex scanning without having to go into the Preferences menu.

Thanks!

Correction to the above:

Duplex scanning works by scanning "All Pages From Feeder", otherwise only the first side of the first page is scanned - this is not configurable from Preferences as stated above.

So automatic white page detection would be the nicest solution to this.

It would also be nice to have an option in the Preferences that defined whether the default scan mode (just pressing the "Scan" button, not using the drop down) resulted in a single page or ADF scan. For scanners like mine, there is little point in doing a single page scan ever.

Changed in simple-scan:
importance: Undecided → Wishlist
