Select even/odd

Post by coolfizzin »

Thanks for such a useful and well-designed program. I use it extensively for batch processing scanned images that will be converted to PDFs. Accordingly, in many cases I need to perform a slightly different batch operation based on whether the page image was originally on the right or the left of the book. It would thus make life a lot easier if in addition to Select All there were also Select Odd and Select Even functions.

For example, Select Odd would iterate through all of the visible files (based on the active filter) and select one, skip the next, select one, skip the next, etc. In other words, I'm not talking about even and odd numbers in the filename. While that would work too, I think it would make more sense from a user perspective to select based on the order of the visible files.

Thanks! :D

I've sent you a PM on dedicated book scanning software that might be of interest to you, but you'll still find XnView MP must-have software!
