Is there a xsane-gimp plugin for Mac OS X - dataweary - 12-29-2018
Hi,
Struggling to find if the xsane-plugin exists for Gimp 2.10.
I have Gimp 2.10 on Mac OS X Sierra (but can use 2.8 back also, when nedded).
Installed xsane with homebrew
But I can't find the xsane-gimp plugin.
Any clue would be warmly welcomed!

Not many (very-very-few) OSX users visit this forum.
According to Partha Bagchi, not possible, and he compiles Gimp for OSX see http://www.partha.com

That is a forum mirror of the Gimp developer mailing list and from two years ago. Things might have changed.
The mailing list is the best place to ask the question. https://www.gimp.org/mail_lists.html

Thanks!
I just posted in their IRC channel.
And by the way, the Partha website you mentionned looks interesting... As OS X doesn't seem to be the best supported OS for Gimp, maybe should I install a VM somewhere!
cheers for now

Someone in the gimp-dev mailing list explained that support for TWAIN has been removed from Mac two years ago and that proper scanner support for OS X would come "pretty soon". But havn't been able to see what happened then.
I will use another OS for scanning tasks with Gimp until something appears.
