Scanner menu missing

[SylDer]

Hello, the menu to create an image from a scanner is no longer available.
Is this temporary or an oversight?

Thank you.

Thank you.

You really need one of the Gimp developers to give a full answer, there is a developer who does visit these days so keep visiting.

There is a problem with Windows and twain see: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/10930

A look at the Gimp 3 plugins folder and there is no twain plugin. Looks like there is no twain support.

SylDer: Hi! Yes, unfortunately our scanner plug-in was 32bit and we had to drop 32bit support in GIMP starting 3.2.2 (the platform we use to build GIMP on Windows was phasing 32bit code out).

I did manage to make a new 64bit plug-in using WIA drivers, so the option will be restored in GIMP 3.2.4 (which we hope to release this weekend): https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/me...uests/2746

Note that you'll need newer WIA drivers for your scanner if you don't already have them, and the UI might look different when the scan options appear. I'm still working on learning the WIA API and hopefully improving it, but for now it should restore basic scanning.
