Bug Description

If the user tries to save the output of a scan to a filesystem that doesn't have enough space, Simple Scan gives no error message. It silently creates a truncated or empty file.

I don't know if this is relevant, but when I found this bug, I was trying to save the scan to a mounted removable drive (a USB stick), and I was creating a multi-page PDF.
