Batch Processing of Scans
#1
In a perfect world, I am scanning large numbers of recipes.  I then crop the images.  Sometimes there is more than one recipe on a page.  Sometimes one recipe is spread over more than one page so I have to stitch the parts together.  I then export, usually as .jpeg to the desired folder on the HDD.

In the real world:
1     I use File/Create/Scanner-Camera to open the Select Source box
2     I select the scanner I wish to use
3     I set the scanner parameters and start the scan
4     When the scan is done, I select <save> to transfer the scan to GIMP
5     I crop, rotate, edit as needed
6     I export the finished file to Recipes/one of several folders acting as categories
7     Go back to step 1

I am looking for something that can automate steps 1 to 4, wait for me to finish step 5 and reduce manual input on steps 6 and 7

I have been trying to look at plugins that may do part of the job and also for tutorials that can help me achieve doing the job myself.

I know the registry is currently dead and it is recommended I google search.  I have not found anything that is of practical use.

Any pointers?
