Description

A simple Chrome App to scan your paper documents directly from your Chromebook thanks to the open-source project SANE. Be aware that only SANE-compatible Scanners will work out of the box for now since Lorgnette relies on the open-source project SANE ("Scanner Access Now Easy"). Therefore make sure your document scanner is in the list before. ------------------------------------------------ Changelog: 0.5: - Load Web Components v0 polyfills. 0.4: - Fix bug that could prevent files to show up in Files app. 0.3: - Refresh thumbnails when image file is edited. 0.2: - Added File editing and renaming features Check out public source at https://github.com/beaufortfrancois/scan-chrome-app

Useless. Yet another app that promises that a USB scanner will work on a Chromebook, and like the others, it never delivers.

Did absolutely nothing. When I pinned the icon and pressed on it, it didn't do anything. It sucks, I was really looking forward to using it.

I downloaded the app and as I later read it is only for SANE printers. I often get the Brother All-in-One fax and scanners but this app did not work with the machine (DCP-L2550DW). They did not lie but if you do not read all before you download you will have a useless app.

Not compatible with my SANE-capable scanner (works fine with SANE under Ubuntu). Description should be updated to reflect compatibility with only some SANE-safe devices.

Simply does not work at all, at least with my HP C4280 all-in-one printer & scanner. This needs improvements.

Does not access my printer (Canon Pixma MG 3520) nor actually scan anything. I even checked the SANE list as suggested and this is supposed to be a supported printer. It does show in my Drive but the file is always empty.

This is too bad. The developer should definitely add more features. Whereas my printing app - HP print for Chrome - connects - wireless!! - perfectly well to my Chromebook (HP 14q), this app only asks for a document name, than appears to do something but subsequently is not capable to find my device, no matter if it is connected to usb or wireless. Work to do for the developers!

Doesn't work with the Chromebook and Canon Pixma MX535. Google Chrome is far more trouble than it is worth. Wish I had stuck with Microsoft.

Downloaded app - tried to launch it - and the Rate Me pops up before I even get to try it - and the app wont start without rating it - so 1 star because how can you rate something if you havent tried it yet. Uninstalled without using it.

I tried this useless app.so that I could scan papers in to my H.P.Cromebook via my H.P. 2512 Series Deskjet.Does not work at all.Just get a message saying that scanner is not available.If I'd known I wouldn't be able to scan,I would not have bought this computer!!!
