GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 782374
Indicate text/photo page/feeder in the scan button
Last modified: 2017-12-06 16:48:37 UTC
Right now, there's no way to tell whether the scan button is set to text/photo or page/feeder without opening up the scan menu and inspecting it. Surfacing these settings would make the UI less work to use. The latest designs use a set of four icons in the scan button to indicate these settings: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gnome-design-team/gnome-mockups/master/document-scanner/document-scanner.png They also recommend using a popover and using the suggested action style on the button.
Are those icons stock icons? I can't seem to find them anywhere..
(In reply to Robert Ancell from comment #1) > Are those icons stock icons? I can't seem to find them anywhere.. No, no they're not. I'm currently discussing the best solution with the icon designers.
The designs have changed a bit since I originally created this report. They now use two sets of icons to indicate the current settings: an "input" icon, which shows flatbed, feeder or timer (that's multiple pages from flatbed), and a separate icon for text/image. For the input icons, I'd suggest: * Flatbed: scanner-symbolic from the icon theme (you could copy this into simple scan and rename to something more appropriate, if you wanted) * Feeder: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gnome-design-team/gnome-mockups/master/document-scanner/icons/document-feeder.svg * Timer: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gnome-design-team/gnome-mockups/master/document-scanner/icons/multiple-pages-flatbed.svg For document type: * https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gnome-design-team/gnome-mockups/master/document-scanner/icons/x-office-text.svg * x-office-drawing-symbolic from the icon theme I'm no expert when it comes to creating icons, so just let me know if there are any issues with these assets.
Thanks Allan!
