Bug Description

Binary package hint: simple-scan

Maverick 32 bits, all updates installed.

When working with multiple paged documents (sorting, cropping) it is not clear what page is selected, so I usually end up clicking every page before doing something to it. This is pretty annoying when working on scans with more than 4 or 5 pages.
I would expect the active/selected page to be indicated with either a 'frame' around it or by the other pages being greyed out a bit or similar.

cheers
Tom

Hi Tom,

The selected page should be coloured slightly differently, can you attach a screen shot of two pages with one selected?

It's not clear enough, so it should be made more clear.

hi Robert,

It's been a while since I reported this issue so it may have been less
clear (maybe the theme I was using then).
Looking at the screen now, the active page is indeed coloured pinkish a
bit. That works, although personally I would prefer the active page to
be clear and the others coloured / greyed out.

Screen shot attached.

cheers
Tom

Put a border around the active page.

Maybe we need better widgets for this?

GtkIconView offers options for a selection.
