Any reason why it was recognized initially and not later? Did you change anything in between ?

The scanner was recognized a couple of times, then just moments later, Libre would not recognize it.  Nothing happened in between.

Interesting results. With my scanner attached, I was able to bring up the Select Scanner dialog in version 6.2.0.0. However, in 6.0.5.2, when I went to Select Source, no Select Scanner dialog appeared at all. More details on the builds follows. I was using Windows 8.1.

isn't there something to do with TWAINDSM.DLL

after solving that you will encounter another problem(tdf#114635) though

This is interesting, then it's fixed in master but not in LibreOffice 6.0.5.2 ?

@greyowl2, Could you please try to reproduce it with a master build from http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/ ?
You can install it alongside the standard version.

Dear greyowl2,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
