Most probably they ask this because you need to install a third-party plug-in in order to have scanner access from within GIMP. > File->Acquire would be more appropriate. maybe even File->Scanners if > you want to be obvious (which is even better!). > > but I can tell you from a thought process and human usability > standpoint that grouping it under File->Create makes no rational, > reasoning sense. > > at least keep the scanner stuff separate and make it obvious that it's > for scanners. Scanner plug-ins are supposed to register in "<Image>/File/Create/Acquire". "Acquire" is a menu group inside the File/Create sub-menu. So scanners are already grouped separately from the other plug-ins that create a new image.
