Kaj ,
I stick to standard Mandrake packages and haven't had the chance anyway to install the latest gimp/sane packages.
The ones you need is, [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# rpm -qa | grep gimp gimp-1.2.5-10mdk xsane-gimp-0.92-1mdk ----------- this is the important one. libgimp1.2-1.2.5-10mdk gimp-data-extras-1.2.0-7mdk gimpprint-4.2.6-14mdk gimp-perl-1.2.5-10mdk xpcd-gimp-2.08-20mdk libgimp1.2_1-1.2.5-10mdk
You already have sane backends , or it wouldn't work at all.
If you already have gimp2 version of xsane-gimp installed,and it doen't work then my guess there is a bug.
You can call xsane on it's own, of course, but then it's not part of gimp pluggings and you have to save the image file and open gimp and run the sane image file again, a bit of a bother really.
Myself, I'm happy to continue with the above gimp/sane versions and that all works fine.Does everything I need of it so far. I suppose I'm lazy, but I just don't have enough time to do everything all at once all the time, but I can understang you wanting to get to grips with it all at this time.
