thattallguy Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 More than half the time when I want to scan something, I need to scan several individual pages. For example, scanning all the receipts from a business trip, or a stack of old photographs. Right now I have to go through a whole boatload of menus and dialogs to do each one. I'd like to be able to do this assembly-line fashion -- scan them all, then work on them. Going feed-feed-feed-feed (or maybe feed-click-feed-click) would be much faster. Maybe the pics get saved with the default set of values (type, compression level, etc) or maybe they're just left as multiple unsaved in-memory documents; either one is fine (although I suspect memory problems on large jobs if saving isn't an option.) Any chance of this happening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frontcannon Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 What has Paint.NET to do with this? Quote Night Vision Text Effect Tutorial Gallery reddit.com/r/futurebeats | My Mixcloud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thattallguy Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 Not sure what you mean. Paint.NET currently acquires single images just fine, so obviously part of its job is to get a scan. I just want to get several at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thattallguy Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 The device driver can already do this (see the software ThumbsPlus, which I currently use for this task.) To do multiple scans it needs to be called differently and the resulting output needs to be handled.

david.atwell Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Well, this question is certainly going to have to wait for Rick to answer.

pyrochild Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Paint.NET is not a scanning application, it's an image editor. The scan import is just a convenience feature that's there because it wasn't too much work. If you need more advanced scanning options, use a scanning application designed for such things.

Rick Brewster Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 This is something I was looking at for Paint.NET v3.5. WIA supports it if the hardware and driver support it, but I just didn't have enough time left over for it. On the app side, it's really no more difficult than File->Open with multiple images.

ccaprani Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 This would be a seriously awesome addition! It would speed up my workflow for particular scenarios hugely. As you say Rick, it is just a question of opening a new image for each document scanned from the feeder. If only I knew how... Cheers!
