I have a similar problem (well, I had, before the pandemic) with my receipts for my work expenses. My workflow is to:
- scan the things outside of Gimp. The scanner unimaginatively gives the images sequence numbers
- I use my image browser to reorganize things: split to folders, or rename the file to the actual date (this is also a sequential number)
- Start Gimp to edit them sequentially (mostly crop, occasionally rotate). What makes me save a huge amount of time, is a Gimp script that
- Saves the current image
- Finds the next image in sequence (the script allows "gaps" in the sequence) in the same directory and opens it
- Saves the current image
- The rest is mostly learning all the necessary keyboard shortcuts (and add one for the file-next script)
