Nice work on this app! I've started using it both for some bulk work (importing receipts into plain text accounting via acceptarium) and also for some onsie twosie scans on a day to day basis. The low clutter frill-free design that just does one job is refreshing.
My usual paring is to use the Nextcloud storage provider on my phone to receive scans into a bucket for later processing on the computer. This gets scans uploaded into my private document storage just by saving it from the phone. The Nextcloud app provides the interface for this and the Android intent from FairScan allows me two pick the right directory, then grant it write permission to there.
This works fine while the app is running, but when I come back later and do a quick scan I often find it throws a save errror. Jumping into settings and picking the same directory over again usually fixes this, but it is obnoxious.
It seems like there is some step missing that would "wake up" the storage provider and make sure it is ready for writing before the actual save operation.
I have a couple other apps that I use similarly and I rarely (although occasionally) see anything similar. Opening the apps then saving seems to just work. In one case I occasionally find the save failing, but that usually coincides with when the Nextcloud server has been upgraded and needs to re-authenticate the Android app that drives the storage provider. FariScan is somehow loosing touch with the output directory on a regular basis even when other apps seem still wired up to their similarly linked directories.
