Scanning with Gimp on Windows 11

If I select it nothing happens. I am totally unfamiliar with Windows, being a lifelong Linux user.

Unfortunately, we had to drop 32bit TWAIN support after GIMP 3.2.0, so that would be the last version that supports it: https://download.gimp.org/gimp/v3.2/windows/

We use MSYS2 for Windows packages when building, and they're dropping support for 32bit versions which our TWAIN plug-in relied on. If someone finds a way around that, we're happy to include that plug-in again - but for now, all we can support is WIA.
