Bug Description

Binary package hint: simple-scan

I scanned a 2 page document and saved it to my desktop as a .pdf file. Then I scanned another page, and on hitting the save button, the original file was overwritten without warning. I was expecting for it to be saved separately.

Before I discovered I could save the file as a .pdf, I had scanned the 2 page document and saved the multipage document to my desktop as a .jpg. For that, I also used the save button, which created two separate .jpg files, so I expected the same to happen when scanning to .pdf, even though the 3rd page did not belong to the same multipage document.
