Batch Processing of Scans

[Ofnuts]

Nothing can read your mind for #5 (especially the "Edit" part) and #6 (find the (right directory).

I have a similar problem (well, I had, before the pandemic) with my receipts for my work expenses. My workflow is to:

1. scan the things outside of Gimp. The scanner unimaginatively gives the images sequence numbers
   
2. 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)
   
3. 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
     
4. The rest is mostly learning all the necessary keyboard shortcuts (and add one for the file-next script)
   

The script is ofn-file-next that you will find here.
