I don`t think that this is changed in newer gimp versions. The pluginrc is created when you touch a file in the plug-ins directory. What you can do is e.g: - touch .gimp/plug-ins/xsane (or wherever you put the link) - create the pluginrc with the umax scanner (start gimp with umax scanner available) - copy the part with xsane umax scanner to another file - touch .gimp/plug-ins/xsane (or wherever you put the link) - start gimp and exit it - paste the xsane umax part into the plugins file now you should have an epson and a umax entry The only problem is that you have to repeat this each time when you update xsane or any other gimp plugin.
