Here are a few mock-ups of the new design/workflow I'm considering. All input is greatly appreciated!

A message telling the user to open the lens if it is not yet open. Alternatively, the user may chose to review recent scans or open a file:

While scanning. The buttons are made to mimic the camera application to make it more convenient to use for new users (this could cause some confusion, however):

The recent scan list has been moved into a dialog and shows some info from the different plugins if available:

The result list is refined with a prettier view and more info from the plugins. One goal is to make plugins look up info (if allowed to by the user) right after the scanning is finished:


I'll start working on the fullscreen scanning with button overlays tomorrow if there are no big protests against going with a fullscreen version. The layout of the buttons may of course be changed if we want something different than the camera app look.

I'm also considering adding one of those "scanner lines" to give the user an impression that something is going on (i.e. the application is scanning, not just viewing the camera).

What do you think?
