Why is there 2 cascaded input devices menus ?

Hi,

Why is there a 2 level menu for the input devices: File -> Preferences -> Input Devices then "Configure extended input devices" (not other choice possible)

Maybe configute extended input devices should me moves to the parent menu?

this assumes there will only be one sort of device.

i think scanner is a potential input device also, it is just not considered so by gimp because of the different project.

maybe i am wrong about what an "input device" is. and i am unable to figure out a device that is not a tablet that gimp would be interested in, but conceivably something might exist?

Yeah, of course. Unfortunately the Dialog that pops up is provided by GTK+ and since it has its own Top level window it is impossible to embed it into the UI.

At some point we'll have to rewrite that stuff anyways, so it hopefully will be resolved then.

Well, actually the plan was to make the preferences dialog a one-level hierarchy. We'd like to finish this task for GIMP-2.2. Any help with this would be appreciated.

No, a scanner is not considered an input device, it's probably an input source. Input device is used in the GTK+ meaning here which clearly refers to a device that gives coordinate input.
