Comment 17 for bug 489528

I agree with holloway fully and partially with mac_v.

Use the scrollbar when there are multiple scanned documents. The arrows are a bad call since if you use continuous scan there could be 10s or even 100s of scans and it's a chore to sift through them with arrows.

I like your layout more and most people are going to be familiar with it since all the software that I used for scanning has a similar one.

You should put the continuous option in the menu and as a checkbox as mac_v suggested.

The "Save to file" should probably default to PDF since it's the de facto standard. To simplify it perhaps you could use the same button as Banshee does for it's Next/Shuffle command. That way you could have "Save to X" where X would change depending on what the user choose. I'll post a rough mockup of the button.

Under the preview window (or above it, whatever looks best) it should have a text that show at what page the user is looking and how many there. Something like "Page 3 of 26" etc.
Another good thing that somebody here suggested is the rotate buttons. It would be a boon since the scanner usually doesn't inform you what is the correct orientation before scanning.

Also change the "Scan Source:" to "Scanner to use:" since it's more informative.
