Separate files by number of pages

Open mithnae opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

When I am scanning a large batch of identical (with fixed number of pages) documents with duplex ADF, I want to group and save then into separate files without using Patch-T separators. This concerns usually just single-sheet forms (averse and reverse) or ordered dual sheet forms (pages 1,2,3,4).

In batch scanning dialog in "Output" section when I select "Save to multiple files" I want to have another , 4th option "Separate files by number of pages" with additional input for number of pages per each file. The effect will be that each time NAPS2 receives a fixed number of images from scanner, it will save them into a single multi-page document (TIFF or PDF)

Alternative mechanism of operation might be implemented as option to save image files grouped by number of images
from main program window («Save imagesImage settings…», in "TiFF options" additional input "Number of images per file". But this can be just additional option separately and independently implemented and with large number of scans can be error-prone.

Cool idea. I might look into it, as I have the same issue sometimes with bigger projects with lots of pages. Would be nice to save them as batches of smaller files.
