Bug Description

Binary package hint: simple-scan

Simple scan should allow some basic quality threshold settings to allow some control of the eventual file size. For example, a 10 page PDF was saved as a 13MB file, which is borderline too large to send around. It should ideally pop up a slider showing quality and projected file size.

This was possibly fixed in recent updates where a problem with PDF compression was fixed.

However it could mean that there is no manual control of the quality / compression settings. I will understand it that way and merge duplicate bugs.
