I assume its still sitting in the src dir for >xsane-0.91. Humm, on second check, I have the sane 1.10, and xsane-0.90 stuff installed here. I nuked the /usr/bin/xsane-gimp file so gimp can't find the xsane launcher now, but 2 make cleans, 2 make distcleanss, 2 reconfigures of xsane which report that the plugin is enabled, and two makes and installs have not re-installed that plugin. And according to locate, that xsane-gimp file was a unique name. So I've no idea howto force an install of the new plugin for xsane-0.90. Did anyone else have a similar problem? >Thanks, Sven -- Cheers, Gene AMD [EMAIL PROTECTED] 320M [EMAIL PROTECTED] 512M 99.26% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly Yahoo.com attornies please note, additions to this message by Gene Heskett are: Copyright 2003 by Maurice Eugene Heskett, all rights reserved. ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Humm, I thought I had that working, but its apparently an older version of that plugin, xsane asks me to accept the license, then scans, but doesn't find any devices. xsane itself runs just fine from an applet icon. Or there are rpm leftovers of xsane. Yup, it says its 0.84, and I have the 0.91 tarballs installed. ^%%$%$ up2date, I thought I had it trained, but its a forgetfull puppy. But rpm -qa|grep xsane comes up blank so I cannot blame it on up2date. Where is that puppy?, I'll nuke it and replace it with the lastest xsane-0.91 pluggin. I assume its still sitting in the src dir for xsane-0.91.

[Gimp-user] suddenly can't load .pnm's from xsane, have before
Hi all; First, let me state that I am no-where near a gimp power user, so don't confuse me with somebody who might know what they are doing. The missus has been watching one of those tv shows where the lady making the quilt is using her scanner to get the patterns into the computer for her tweaking pleasure. So I thought, how difficult is this gonna be since I've had this scanner and keep sane pretty well uptodate from tarballs. So I dropped her background pattern on the scanner, a checkered tea towel sort of cotton rag, followed by the mini teacups and saucers I was going to plant in the middle of the background pattern to make her up some reproducable block patterns from some stuff she got that can be run thru an inkjet printer and then cutup for quilting pieces. Yeah, sure. I done this many times and usually load the result up into gimp to adjust and or print. But the material has always been flat before, not 3d & a long ways from the scanner glass like a childs teacup turned upside down, with its saucer on top of it. And a black book on top of that since the scanner lid obviously isn't gonna close on a 3" high object. But in making the images visually usefull, I had to peg the xsane gamma slider all the way to 3, and diddle the britness and contrast up a ways since these cup and saucer things were about 2.5" tall & therefore hitting a quite wide density range in the raw images. They actually looked pretty good, although elongated vertically by about 20%, something I figured one of our gfx proggies could fix. And now the gimp (1.2.3 according to the help screen) cannot load them, any of them, claiming something is out of range. PNM: invalid maximum value and followed by a failure advisory window on top of that one. So what do I do to fix this? I made the mistake of telling the missus it was a piece of cake :( -- Cheers, Gene AMD [EMAIL PROTECTED] 320M [EMAIL PROTECTED] 512M 99.26% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly Yahoo.com attornies please note, additions to this message by Gene Heskett are: Copyright 2003 by Maurice Eugene Heskett, all rights reserved. ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
