Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 73817
Failure to scan more than one page at once
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
Menu Insert|Picture|Scan option works, opens scanner window with the same options as any other app, but it only captures one image/page from the scanner. Test system is a 'Windows XP' x86 PC, using TWAIN, and OO v2.1 in Spanish. Scanners are networked ones (issue tested with a couple of them). A reference test done with any other windows app (like MS Word) does the right job, i.e. retrieves as much pages as the scanner has to process, even both sides if two side scanning was requested (in such case, OO only gets top side, that's first page). Scanners are all Ricoh multifunction networked devices, with ADF (automatic multiple page duplex feeders), but that shouldn't be the issue as we're using TWAIN... ** Maybe OO is requesting to scanner driver (TWAIN) to get only one page, or resigns after receiving first page? ** The only difference between OO and other app. is that, once process has started, the status dialog shows 'scanning page 1/1' when scanning triggered from OO, and just 'scanning page 1' when triggered from other app. And then, only one page is retrieved to Writer. Perhaps scanning function was never intended to scan multiple page documents in OO, then this issue should be a feature request, but can't figure it out. Thanks in advance (at least to examine the case), David.
Reassigned to WG.
Reassigned. @pl: please decide if this is a feature or a defect. We do not have the right hardware here to test this. Thanks in advance.
Let's call it an enhancement. If there is more than one graphic to be produced by scanning, then we'll have to change the interface of the scanner service which currently starts a scan and is supposed to import one image into the application; so the application code needs to be able to accept more than one.
