Not per https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/xsane/c/2cc8bf4 (Drop GIMP plugin for Fedora >= 41, 2024-10-13) and the follow-up which fixes the reversed values in that commit. I would guess that's because gimp-3.x and the xsane-gimp plugin don't play well together or, more optimistically, that it's somehow not actually needed anymore. But I don't use xsane and haven't done more than poke the package history quickly. I see https://yingtongli.me/git/gimp-xsanecli mentioned in a few places as a Gimp 3 plugin for XSane. I haven't looked at that code, but perhaps someone interested can review it and work on getting it integrated with the Fedora gimp and xsane packages. -- Todd
