The filters have no names when saving a file

Same problem here

Ubuntu Oneiric 11.10

simple-scan 3.2.0-0ubuntu1

Mark:

I suggest you mark yourself as affected at the top where it says "This affects 1 person", or something along those lines. Then, it will automatically be confirmed and might be at a higher priority for the developers.

this will not be fixed in the packaging of the application

Could you attach a small screenshot?

I am having the same problem saving to pdf. This started after having problems with using the automatic document feeder on my new HP OfficeJet 6500 e710n. I installed the newest hplip which I downloaded from hplipopensource.com (3.11.10) via script. The adf is working now, but there is no longer correct filters / file types in the Save As... dialog box.

Attached is a screen shot. I cannot screenshot the list itself, but there are two selectable 'Untitled Filters'. Selecting either one and saving results in a 130byte empty pdf.

jay@U-Box:~/Desktop$ file Scanned\ Document.pdf
Scanned Document.pdf: PDF document, version 1.3

jay@U-Box:~/Desktop$ ls -al Scanned\ Document.pdf

Thanks for the screenshot!

I can imagine a relationship between the unnamed filter and the broken PDF, even so I am not really sure it is really connected.
I cannot believe the missing filter is related to the hplip version, however. The driver should not be involved in the file export at all. Does saving in other formats still work? Could you did into that a little bit deeper?

Scans are saving in .jpg, .tif, .tiff and .png when choosing to scan as a photo. Scan will save as .tif (was not sure which other formats to try to save as) when scanned as text.

Running Oneiric 64 bit on an i7 machine I put together. Can provide logs and can dig deeper, just not sure which logs apply.

beer30, could you please open another bug report about your problem. i am still not convinced it is related and want to keep the noise to a minimum. should it be related we can merge the reports later. thanks!

Here is some debug output scanning 2 pages through the doc feeder.

I can do that. Thanks, Michael.

This is also affecting me running the latest precise -- i purged the config files and reinstalled simple-scan, but encountered the same issue

Nicholas, please be more verbose.
Is it reproducible ALWAYS or just sometimes, and if the latter, under what circumstances.

Also, does saving still work and this seems more like a display issue, or is it completly broken? Are you getting broken PDFs?

Hi, same issue for me on a french Ubuntu 12.04 (beta2 with latest updates)

After scanning with my "HP Photosmart C4472", I also get this "Untitled filter" menu when trying to save the file.

@Thibault:

For me, last time I checked, it was reproducible always. And no, I don't get broken PDF's. That's for me, not sure about Thibault. Ubuntu 12.04 up to date

Sincerely,
kroq-gar78

is it reproducible with lon-localized simple-scan started via:
LC_ALL=C LANG=C LANGUAGE=C simple-scan

Yes. Same thing with your command.

The upstream bindings changed again (this has happened before). The issue was there is a Gtk.FileFilter.set_name method for that collides with the Gtk.Widget.set_name method. The bindings have now renamed the method to Gtk.FileFilter.set_filter_name.

Re-opened Ubuntu task as it does effect the version that is in Ubuntu.

Hello kroq-gar78, or anyone else affected,

Accepted simple-scan into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Thanks! It works for me now :)

This bug was fixed in the package simple-scan - 3.4.1-0ubuntu1.1

 -- Robert Ancell <email address hidden> Wed, 02 May 2012 13:51:04 +1200

Robert, don't you think this patch should be released to simple-scan 3.4 users of other distros too?

Fixed in 3.4.2 and 3.5.1
