I have a recent Debian 12.5 (Bookworm) install that included a Gimp 2.10 binary. Xsane 0.999 is installed but when I try and use the File->Create function, Gimp is running xscanimage. Which might be fine if it didn't crash when you click on "Acquire preview".
I've tried the symlink trick in ~/.gimp-2.10/plug-ins/ but so far xscanimage is the only thing Gimp is seeing. I've verified that the symlink is pointing to /usr/bin/xsane and if I "cd" to the plugins directory and issue "./xsane" it does launch Xsane. If I can invoke it manually, Gimp ought to be able to, right? Instead, Gimp is fixated on "xscanimage" which doesn't exist on the system as far as I've been able to to determine. (Oddly there is a manpage for it that is almost identical to the xsane manpage.)
Is the problem with Gimp 2.10? Or Xsane?
Is there any hope to get 2.10 up and running with my Epson scanner. It's a Perfection 2400 Photo and has worked with 2.x+Xsane on other Linux distributions for a number of years.
Ping me if any additional information is needed.
TIA for any help...
