Thanks for your answer!

It's very important to have the interface as simple as it could be (that was
why I liked simple-scan in the first place.) However, I think that perhaps
hiding options that shouldn't be hidden isn't really making the interface
simple, as the interaction becomes more complex. I think that when other
options are available, they should be set in the preferences dialog, as they
are not going to change a lot.

Regarding the short toolbar format: I think that perhaps it would be best to
have the radio buttons side by side if the toolbar is in the short format.
Another idea: you can use a drop-down selection box, so that the user can
see that currently "photo" is selected without clicking anything, and if he
wants to change this he can click it and select "text".
