Description CaptainBlood 2023-07-20 14:28:59 UTC

emerging app-text/unpaper, media-gfx/graphicsmagick, media-gfx/sane-frontends  fixes the issues logged below:

INFO - unpaper --version
INFO - unpaper --version: command not found
INFO - Found Image::Magick 7.1.1
INFO - convert --version
INFO - Spawned PID 6106
INFO - Found imagemagick 7.1.1-6
INFO - gm -version
INFO - gm -version: command not found
INFO - scanadf --version
INFO - scanadf --version: command not found

Missing app-text/unpaper triggers a warning popup at startup which could be confusing to some.

No idea if media-gfx/graphicsmagick could fully replace media-gfx/imagemagick though.

Reproducible: Always

Plz note this doesn't prevent GUI to start, after cancelling accordlingly.

The ebuild uses optfeature for app-text/unpaper and media-gfx/sane-frontends:

	optfeature "scan post-processing" app-text/unpaper
	optfeature "automatic document feeder support" media-gfx/sane-frontends

as you pointed out if they are missing there is no crash.


The media-gfx/imagemagick Perl bindings are used, in gscan2pdf:

       use Image::Magick;

If graphicsmagick provides that as well, maybe it could be used as a replacement. But it would need someone who was really motivated to try it, checks the tests pass and submit a PR.
