Hi David,
It took a little getting use to, especially with save automatically
overwriting with the old projects name. But I like it in general.
Not anywhere as weird as xcuss (x Common unix scanning system), a.k.a,
xsane.
I posted the follpwing two RFE's:
RFE: save overwrite prompt
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=789890
RFE: delete, save, new scanner
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=789892
Thank you for the help!
