    This is dicontinued and didn't work well for me at least. The UI and UX is quite jarring compared to other apps in the same category. it also have GUI glitches, likely caused by it not being maintained for a long time now.

    I don't see how anyone would use this in 2024. :)

Xsane wants to decide for itself what dimensions to use for the scanned output, depending on the visible extents of what is scanned. I couldn't find a way to enforce a standard size (e.g. A4) in Ubuntu Studio 22.04. Instead, Xsane appears to require manual setting by dragging the edges of the preview.

What is XSane?

XSane is a graphical scanning front-end for SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy). It uses the SANE-library to talk to scanners. It is designed for acquiring images with scanners (there are other devices like cameras and videodevices supported by SANE and you will see that xsane may support some basic functions of those devices, but XSane is not designed for that purpose).

XSane can do different things with the acquired images:

  • display image in a viewer
  • save image to a file
  • do a photocopy
  • create a multipage document
  • create a fax
  • create an e-mail
