[SOLVED] Simple-scan update to 3.36.3 hangs at searching for scanners

Hello all,

today I updated my arch and when trying to scan a new document using simple-scan, the program got stuck at "searching for scanners". Simple-scan had been updated from 3.36.2.1 to 3.36.3, and none of the dependencies were updated. After some deeper digging, I went to dconf (dconf-editor) and reset the value of the entry /org/gnome/simple-scan/selected-device to its default (empty string). That solved the problem.

One-liner:

dconf write /org/gnome/simple-scan/selected-device "''"

I hope it helps!
