Title:
  support double sided scanning on scanners without duplex unit

Status in Simple Scan:
  Triaged
Status in “simple-scan” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: simple-scan

  Maverick, 32 bits, all updates installed.

  I'm often scanning documents that are double sided, on a scanner with sheetfeeder but no duplexer (HP c7280).
  This means I scan the entire batch first odd pages, get them out (including pulling the last page out which is stuck somewhere halfway out of the scanner) reload them in the feeder and scan all even pages.

  After scanning all pages I have to reshuffle all odds and evens with the < and > keys to get the order right.
  >>> Wishlist: a 'sort pages' option to interlace 2 runs of scans. A bit like some programs / printer drivers offer in order to get double sided printouts when you use a printer that has no duplexer. First you print all odds, then reload the output into the printer again (upside down and back to front somehow) and then print the even sides on the backs.
  Would be a great help.

  cheers
  Tom
