import from multiple PDFs

timobaumann commented 3 months ago

Our scanner can't do 300 pages, therefore I scanned in three batches. It would be nice if one could import from multiple PDFs consecutively. The import button is still available after importing but when I pressed it again I got:

Create file 242/242: /home/timo/bin/scan_and_mark/11/22.jpg (0.0?)

I believe this is an error? The program should know that it had already created 11 exams and shouldn't overwrite previous files.

Currently, it is not possible to import multiple PDFs. I also scan into multiple PDF files, but after that, I create a all-in-one PDF with a merge tool. Then, I import that big file.

I'll keep the status of this ticket open, then we can implement the feature that supports importing multiple PDF files.

at that stage one might include simple rotation, etc. operations. our scanner scans best when pages are rotated 180°...
