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.

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?
Suggestion: Acquire multiple images from the scanner

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.
