gimp and iscan

I had gimp and iscan working just fine on fedora 6 and gimp 2.2. I have a new installation of fedora 8. I've got gimp 2.4 and iscan 2.6 installed via rpm. When I open gimp and select Xtns->Aquire image, I see 'Scanning (iscan)' but it's grayed out. If I remove the iscan rpm the Aquire option is no longer there, so I know that iscan rpm is trying to register the plugin.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Does the menu become sensitive if you have an image opened? Could be a problem with the iscan plug-in registering for certain image types when it should use an empty string.

Sure enough. I opened gimp, opened a file and when I go to scan, the option is available. Bug? Or, is this something I can fix on my end?

It's a bug in the iscan plug-in then. But a bug that can easily be fixed in the plug-in source code. Just look for the gimp_install_procedure() call and check the 8th argument. I suspect the plug-in is passing the string "*" here. It should pass the empty string to tell GIMP that it doesn't need an image to work. Please tell the author of the iscan plug-in about this so that he/she can fix the plug-in.
