gimpfu calling xsane

I'm trying to write a python script that opens the xsane dialog. But the example script below does not work. Any idea what's wrong?

Ciao Andreas

#! /usr/bin/env python from gimpfu import *

def foobar(*args): print "start foobar()"
pdb.xsane()
print "end foobar()"

register( "run_xsane", "", "", "", "", "", "/Xtns/Foobar", "",
[], [],
foobar
)

main()

Hi Andreas,

I don't find xsane in the pdb. Have you looked in Help->Procedure Browser?

Yes, I have. It's there. And it's coming from /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/xsane which is a link to /usr/bin/xsane.

Running my script doesn't produce any error (warning) messages. It just stops after displaying "start foobar()".

Ciao Andreas

If I try calling "pdb.xsane()" or "pdb.xsane(0)" fron the python-fu console, I get: "extension 'xsane' aborted before sending its extension_ack message"

Not even sure if that's helpful. I've never tried calling an external program through the pdb before...

Here (gimp-2.4.2, xsane-0.996) the console just stalls. No error message, no prompt, not responding to button clicks.

Maybe xsane is not meant to be called through the pdb?

What happens if you type

xsane (run_mode = 0)

???

(you can use this trick to trigger interactive calling for all PDB functions that support it)

Yes you did. All plug-ins are external programs.

Looks like the xsane plug-in installs itself as an extension instead of as a plug-in. That might be what the plug-in author intended to do, but more likely it is just plain wrong. This is explained in http://developer.gimp.org/api/2.0/libgimp/libgimp-gimp.html#gimp-install-procedure

I guess that the xsane plug-in needs to be fixed.

Oh yes, that works. At least it shows the xsane dialog but it does not return anything apart from an execution error.

I originally intended to control xsane with a script, but it seems that the xsane plug-in is not ready for that.
