No settings menu in Skanlite?

English Applications
#1

Hello everybody,

fresh Leap, Skanlite. I miss the settings menu. Does anyone know, if it is intended that there is no more?
This would be inconvenient.

Thanks for reply.

#2

If you mean the skanlite for scanning
It has the settings menu in Leap 2.1 here.

#3

Hello conram,

I don’t know what you mean.

Where the scan button is there used to be the settings menu.

#4

Yes you are missing the settings.
Mine in english at the bottom has this buttons (menu)
Preview Scan
About Settings Close Help

Skanlite is just a frontend.

Check that you have ksaneplugin installed.
And try to run “kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental” as user, maybe just the plugin cache is outdated.

#6

Mine here ksaneplugin is not installed though
when I installed Leap 42.1 I added xsane on
my installation package because that is what I frequently use.

#7

Now I have installed both xsane like conram and like wolfi323 said ksaneplugin (incl. running kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental).

Unfortunately the same result: no settings menu. Curious that conram has the settings menu.

I have a Brother MFC-7360N and the installation I have used sins 13.1 with drivers DL from Brother Solution center:

Install, -brscan4-0.4.2-1.x86_64.rpm
-mfc7360nlpr-2.1.0-1.i386.rpm
-cupswrapperMFC7360N-2.0.4-2.i386.rpm

Then open a konsole and run:

-“brsaneconfig4 -a name=SCANNER model=MFC-7360N ip=192.168.0.12” That IP is on my Lan configured in the MFC-7360N.

Confirm network scanner entry:

“-brsaneconfig4 -q | grep SCANNER”
0 SCANNER “MFC-7360N” I:192.168.0.12

Works like a dream in Leap42.1, both Scanlite/xsane

Looks the same to mine and I am using a brother printer/scanner also (MFC-5890CN)

#10

Hm.
Does it work on a fresh user account?
You can create one (and delete it again afterwards) in YaST->Security and Users->User and Group Management.

#11

Testuser account created. Here It works!lol! Seems xsane has to be installed first. But how I fix it on my current account. Is there a profile folder for Skanlite which I have to delete?

Many thanks

#12

Ok, that tells that it’s not an installation problem… :wink:

how I fix it on my current account. Is there a profile folder for Skanlite which I have to delete?

Not that I am aware of.

But try to delete ~/.kde4/share/config/Skanliterc (yes, it is an upper case ‘S’ in this case… :wink: ).

#13

In my folder config I can’t find Skanliterc

#14

Ok, then try to delete ~/.sane/.
But I’m not sure if that could be the reason…

#15

Hi wolfi323,

deleting .sane I have already tried. But it did not solved it too.
But now I have solved it!
I always start Skanlite via link from the folder view. Now I started it
from K menu, and Skanlite has the settings menu included like the testuser account.
Could this be the reason for the missing menu, a link. Perhaps I have set the link before I have configured the scanner.
Or is it the missing installation of xsane in combination with this “old” link?

Thanks wolfi and everybody for helping me!! I am glad that this forum exists, competent people, quick help.

#16

TBH, I am not sure.

But as the “wrong” link is in your folder view, try to delete it and add it again.
Although, I suppose you came to the same conclusion yourself already… :wink:

For an indepth answer I would need to see your old link, i.e. the xxx.desktop file from your ~/Desktop/ (or whatever) folder.

Well, we do try to help.

It doesn’t work out every time, and sometimes it may take a bit longer to get an answer, but yeah, there are a lot of competent people hanging around here… (and I am not speaking of myself with this… :wink: )

And at this point I really like to thank all others that try to help people here! :slight_smile:

#17

You are right.

(and I am not speaking of myself with this… :wink: )

I am sure you could. :wink:
