One dpi step is too much
The small step size causes uneccessary scrolling.

Suggestion: Have a drop down menu with predefined values, one value being "Custom". Upon selecting custom, allow the user to type in a user defined value.
This has been in my backlog for quite some time and I'll definitely get started on it soon. For v3.1 I'll first improve the ComboBox itself to allow for text search, so you can at least jump to the desired entry right away using a keyboard. A more satisfactory solution will come after that.
I implemented the searchable ComboBox in the latest v3.1 release. For more details see here.
It would also allow to use other DPI values, some scanners support e.g. 4800dpi, with ScanGear allowing a custom value between 25-19200 dpi to be entered.
The new ComboBoxis included in the v3.2 release and accepts text input when many resolutions are available. It automatically selects the closest available value from the list.
