Description Stephen 2006-05-28 02:16:55 UTC 
If xsane isn't re-queried, any USB (or other) hardware changes (new devices, different device addresses) are not picked up, and GIMP either doesn't show the device in file/acquire/xsane or the device's menu entry results in an error message because GIMP is trying to use the wrong/old device address.
Comment 1 Michael Schumacher 2006-05-28 09:11:46 UTC 
This sounds like something that should be handled by the xsane plug-in, not GIMP.
Comment 2 Michael Natterer 2006-05-28 13:41:52 UTC 
If a plug-in wants to do something on each GIMP startup, it must
implement init(), not only query() and run().

It's the plug-in that needs to be fixed, not GIMP.
Comment 3 Michael Natterer 2006-05-28 13:42:21 UTC 
Gah wrong resolution...
Comment 4 Stephen 2006-05-28 23:31:17 UTC 
Thanks. I'll forward it to xsane (and xscanimage does the same).
Comment 5 Michael Natterer 2006-05-29 07:37:45 UTC 
Please also tell them that their procedures are not of type
GIMP_EXTENSION but GIMP_PLUGIN, see the docs of gimp_install_procedure()

I wonder how this can work at all :)
