Hello,

I like to confirm that xsane behaviour also on my system
and even more when I run xsane when "scanimage -L" shows
"No scanners were identified", then xsane first shows
this notification popup:
------------------------------------------------------------
No devices
no devices available
[Close] [Help]
------------------------------------------------------------
and after clicking [Help]
xsane shows a subsequent notification popup:
------------------------------------------------------------
No devices available
Possible reasons:
1) There really is no device that is supported by SANE
2) Supported devices are busy
3) The permissions for the device file do not allow you
to use it - try as root
4) The backend is not loaded by SANE (man sane-dll)
5) The backend is not configured correctly
(man sane-"backendname")
6) Possibly there is more than one SANE version installed
[Close]
------------------------------------------------------------
clicking [Close] finishes xsane.
Kind Regards
