https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo … ug=1107786

So Debian really has removed this important functionality from GIMP?
And no reaction whatsoever to the bug report by the maintainer?

If this is true (and it really seems to be) then this is quite disappointing.

I have Xsane installed and if I run it as standalone app it sees my flatbed scanner and I can scan from Xsane just fine, but within GIMP I don't see any way in the menus to launch Xsane or any other way to scan an image from a scanner from within GIMP.

This used to be possible in older versions of GIMP, has this been removed from GIMP or am I missing something?
