Would certainly be nice to have something reasonable happen when I connect a scanner and hit the hardware scan button. But what should that be? From a quick look at the (possibly out of date) gnome-scan web page it seems to me that it is trying to be an application. That approach may have similar problems to those of sound-juicer. Basically this is somewhat hard to solve if we don't have a rhythmbox for photos... unless we do something like the screenshot tool where we offer a few fixed options: 1. Save to Photos 2. Upload to Flickr 3. Upload to Picasa 4. Save as PDF Incidentally whatever we do we should do the same for cameras...
