Application of external commands/scripts

It would be nice, if there could be a possibility to execute external commands/scripts on each image-file (could be places in a contextual menu for the image) and for certain events, like "finnished ocr processing".

As an example I would like to be able to run Fred's ImageMagick Scripts' textcleaner on an image, if needed.

Cool idea, though which scenario do you see for processing the image after OCR processing?

As for the OCR post-processing script I did not think about applying it to the image, but to do it to the resulting text. But it was just a placeholder in my head, I have no specific idea for it. Currently I just use the reflow in your application, copy the text to the clipboard and insert it into LibreOffice, using one of any special template, I created for eBook creation and then I export as ePub.

But being able to start any external image-processor on an image, manually vie contextual menu, would be really great.

However, since you seem to be able to recognize paragraphs anyway, you could add another feature, which I will address in another issue #132, so not to mix ideas.
