• Gimp xsane plug-in on bookworm

    From dmthompson@gmx.com@21:1/5 to All on Thu Feb 20 13:10:02 2025
    Hi all,

    I noticed on bookworm, that xsane is not being loaded as a plugin, even
    though is being recognised in the initial first run splash screen.

    Even if I create a symbolic link to xsane in the users .config/GIMP/plug-ins folder, still does not load.

    From terminal I notice a clash between the xsane plugin in /usr/lib/...
    folder, and the manually made symlinked xsane in .config/GIMP, where it
    says it will ignore the manually made symlink.

    I have looked about on the web for a couple of days or so, but no joy
    so far. Lots of mention of a bug like this in the dev version though.

    Does anyone know anything about this, or more specifically how to
    overcome this?

    All help much appreciated.

    Cheers
