In gimp I'm missing the File/Create option to pull an image from a scanner. Google results mention the xsane-gimp package, but dnf in F42 knows nothing about it.
I did find /usr/share/sane/xsane/doc/sane-xsane-gimp-doc.html that tells me to manually create a symbolic link. Huh? That's not progress. Is that really how to feed xsane to gimp, these days?
It seems like xsane-gimp should update the symlink for you during installation. Did that not happen?
