Description John Doyle 2005-07-29 13:05:49 UTC 
In gimps file menu there are some handy options under the aquire sub menu. It
would be nice if the TWAIN.. option could be renamed to Scanner.. to make it
clear to users who don't know what TWAIN means what this option does.
Comment 1 Sven Neumann 2005-07-29 13:30:30 UTC 
Sounds like a reasonable improvement. Not for 2.2 though since it means changing
a translatable string.
Comment 2 Michael Schumacher 2005-07-29 13:35:11 UTC 
Please note that TWAIN isn't limited to scanners - some digital cameras and
webcams use it, too.
Comment 3 John Doyle 2005-07-29 13:58:53 UTC 
Ah, that makes renaming it more complicated. Still there must be a better 
alternative than TWAIN which means nothing to most people. Maybe 
Scanner/Camera would cover enough to make it clear.
Comment 4 Sven Neumann 2005-07-29 14:11:41 UTC 
If the TWAIN API allows for this, the plug-in could attempt to detect devices
and register individual menu entries for them.
Comment 5 Michael Schumacher 2005-07-29 14:16:38 UTC 
The TWAIN plug-in is mainly something that helps you to select the source of the
"Acquire". So "Acquire->Select source..." might fit.

It ould be nice if the TWAIN plug-in did register the individual sources into
the "Acquire" menu, then we would be able to have "Scanner XYZ", "Scanner ABC",
"Camera  Syno S123" in the menu etc...
