Description Robert Ancell 2017-05-03 09:47:59 UTC 
If scanning small things (e.g. photos) it is more efficient to scan multiple items at once. There is currently no method to crop multiple pages from a single scan.

One method of supporting this is to duplicate the scanned page and crop each duplicate differently.

Hi,

I am unsure about this idea of duplicating the current page. It feels like a hack, more of a workaround than anything.
I remember seeing a scanner program which was simply using numbered cropped area (maybe also colored differently?) and this was quite efficient and elegant.

This say, I also see advantages to the duplication feature. You could add other scans in between (for instance from a same scan, you get page 1 and 3; and page 2 would come from a separate scan). That would be more complicated with the multi-crop GUI (not impossible, but not basic).

Just to add some insight.
