Package: xsane
Version: 0.97-3
Severity: wishlist

When I'm in a hurry and doing two things at a time
(which is normal), I sometimes forget whether I'm
done the final scan or just acquired the preview.

This is only a problem if you are saving directly
(the viewer gives a good clue!), but that's what
I do most of the time.

I'd be really happy if there were some little
graphical hint that would tell me whether or not
the scan button has been clicked since the
"acquire preview" button was last clicked.

I'd suggest subtle changes in the color or
font for the "scan" button.    Perhaps have
the text go bold when the preview is acquired,
and then switch to roman when the scan button
is pressed.

(And, yes, one might be able to tell if the filename
ends in a number (beccause it is incremented).
But, not all file names end in numbers.
Also, the assumption that the user can remember whether
they last scanned sunset006.jpg or sunset007.jpg
is probably unjustified.)
