Package: gscan2pdf
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/bin/gscan2pdf
Can gscan2pdf be told on startup:
- where to save files to
- the file format
- a filename template within which to only substitute a
counter or some user-generated part
and be configured to:
- invoke a shell script from a button press and import the
result from a filename as a layer or comment
That would allow for all sorts of control of the filename
and all sorts of external post-processing (be it thumbnail
generation, OCR, signing, whatnot).
An earlier version of the above suggestion would see such preferences written
to disk
and loaded into the next instance but even to preserve them within a session
(which I
am not sure if it does already) would be a help. The specifics that would be
nice to
be able to set and save might look like
In a perfect world, gscan2pdf might gain further configurability:
- by default, retain the source file name and extension
- be configurable (prefs) for target:
Download directory (and drive)
file format to save as: (original, other specified)
name save as any combination of
- last-saved file name
- source file name
- creation datetime of source file
- current datetime
- auto-incrementing serial number
- optional auto-incrementing suffix (-0, -1, -2)
- OCR preference-saving
GOCR vs Tesseract
Tesseract language
- configurable post-processing
- chain to OCR? (yes, no)
save OCR text in a layer when the file format is PDF
- move imported file to another directory
e.g. .../<working directory>/processed
