Gimp 3.x scanner xsane plugin is now available! - snovotill - 01-12-2025
I am now able to use my scanner in Gimp 3 thanks to the developer who published it at https://yingtongli.me/git/gimp-xsanecli
It works in Wayland as well as X.
RE: Gimp 3.x scanner xsane plugin is now available! - rich2005 - 01-12-2025
Using kubuntu 24.04 / Gimp 3.0 RC2 appimage / Brother J825 printer/scanner (wireless connection)
..and working here, although using a patched xsane version (1.0) since the default 'buntu version (0.999) is broken. (as a Gimp plugin)

Works with xsane 0.999-7 on Manjaro (not tried with Wayland). Thanks !

I have had no success with this on the just-released GIMP-3.0.0-x86_64.AppImage. xsane is 0.999-11ubuntu1
My system xsane works fine from the command line.
Any ideas? Here's what my terminal says when I use the plugin.

So the statement does not make sense. If then with a precise source. Preferably with an exact link to the sources
RE: Gimp 3.x scanner xsane plugin is now available! - rich2005 - 05-26-2025
Well, the statement does make sense, Example for ubuntu 24.04 xSane version is 0.999 - and is broken. It needs fixing for ubuntu, but that might not be true for all versions of linux.
It seems that xsane is almost abandoned although looking at https://gitlab.com/sane-project/frontend/xsane there are some updates. Still seems to be 0.999 from 6 years ago.
The opening splash, shows a little newer, a copyright 2022

I would love to give you the source code I used, unfortunately lost it, I remember it came via the linux Mint forum.
I gone back to scanning with XSane on its own, then opening the saved scan in Gimp.
For I have not tried this but for ubuntu users a PPA - https://launchpad.net/~sane-project/+archive/ubuntu/sane-release/+packages Might be worth a try although not xSane - only the sane library.

Works for me on openSUSE Slowroll, currently with Gimp 3.0.4-1.1 and XSane 0.999-6.2 (Gnome/Wayland)
Thanks all.

I ran the software update on my Linux Mint 22 system yesterday and it replaced my GIMP 2.10 installation with GIMP 3.0.4. With high hopes, I downloaded and installed the gimp-xsanecli Python plug-in. It shows up as an entry in the File/Create menu, but when I click it, nothing happens; the XSANE window never appears.
RE: Gimp 3.x scanner xsane plugin is now available! - rich2005 - 07-25-2025
I have not tried it yet but Mint 22 is based on 'buntu 24.04 The xsane package for that does not work (unless it was fixed since I last looked at it)
The test is - does xsane as a stand-alone work?
I will try a Mint 22 in a VM and see what happens.
RE: Gimp 3.x scanner xsane plugin is now available! - rich2005 - 07-26-2025
I said I would try a Mint 22.1 VM, new installation & updated. No Gimp installed
xsane 0.999 from the repo works and using my ancient Canon LiDE 30 (usb) scanner looks like this:

Note that Gimp 2 is a dependency (Gimp 2.10.36 is the default for 'buntu 24.04 / Mint 22 )
....the question is where did the Gimp 3.0.4 come from ?
