(this is easy to verify -- the plugin browser in the Help menu allows you to search by name, and shows where in the menu something shows up. searching 'sane' will probably bring up nothing) Chris Mohler's suggestion is good.

Re: [Gimp-user] SANE support of GIMP-1.3?
Carol, Indeed, for the vast majority of GNU/Linux users nowadays, it is trivial to open xsane, and later the GIMP. What we do have to keep in mind is that the tide is turning. Free Software is getting more and more used across corporations and governments alike. People who works with Images and are used to proprietary software will sometimes search any excuse to tell bad things about free software. Nt being able to scan straight into the GIMP, when a Paint Shop Pro under windows 3.1 could do that, would be nearly shamefull. Actually this plugin may not be that important for the current GIMP users. I am worried to the upcoming ones. I think that bringing the xsane plugin up to date with gimp 2.0 would be quite an interesting thing to be done in time for the next releases of the big distros (witch at the moment seen to be Mandrake and SuSE) .

And distros will include GIMP 2, and send out GIMP 1.2. can you explain to me what the problem with using two different software apps is? i have a totally different perspective on this. to me, scanning is scanning, pixel manipulation is pixel manipulation. one involves a devise. a scanning app manipulates a devise. a graphics app manipulates pixels. i get grumpy because i was taught to do things this one way, and i liked it. where one project does not keep another project down. the complexity of keeping two projects working at the same time is enormous. gimp already does this with gtk+. in return it gets all those widgets and a way to tell the computer what to do. what you just called a blocker is one little menu entry. and you want to shut the whole project down for this? i am trying to understand whatever could make this such an issue? is there a bigger list of things that this one menu entry can do that i do not know about? i would love to understand this. i used sane the other day. i typed xsane while my console was within the directory i wanted to save the scan to. once the scanning was accomplished, i chose File--Quit (or whatever it is) and then typed gimp within this same directory. File--Open and choosing the file i had scanned and my image was there. is it that difficult in kde to open apps that the whole world has to stop for a completely separate project? i guess i just need to know what you get from such a, eh, marriage of projects. one that none of the good volunteers are willing to get into. i know, i need more than one menu entry to keep a friend. i need call backs. i need help with my projects.

Re: [Gimp-user] SANE support of GIMP-1.3?
Hi Joao, I think that bringing the xsane plugin up to date with gimp 2.0 would be quite an interesting thing to be done in time for the next releases of the big distros (witch at the moment seen to be Mandrake and SuSE) . I think I said that it would be trivial to port XSane to GIMP-2.0. In the time it took you to write this mail, you could have done the port instead. I've just spent a few minutes on it and have xsane working with GIMP from CVS. Since I don't have a scanner here, I couldn't give it much testing but I don't see why it should not work. The major obstacle was that the xsane tarball seems to be missing some m4 macros that are needed to recreate the configure script. Since XSane already compiles against GTK+-2.0, I got away with changing two or three lines of code, all other changes were done only to adapt the build environment to use GIMP-2.0. Since I don't want to step on the feet of the XSane maintainer I am not going to post a diff here. If Oliver Rauch is interested in my changes, I am hereby offering my help to port XSane to GIMP-2.0.

Hi everybody, I did install Gimp 1.2.2 on my Linux-powered computer and everything worked fine. My only problem is, that the new Gimp-installation doesn't accept my attempts to "install" the xsane-plugin. Can anybody send me a "step-by-step-manual"? Thanks U. Matter
