Matching documents by pairing around a middle file
Posted: Fri Aug 13, 2021 11:39 pm
I'm not sure that title is coherent but let me explain my use case.
I have a document feeder. I scan 50 documents, however it's single sided scans, and not duplex. So after I finish scanning, I flip the whole pile and feed it back through, now upside down.
The files naturally save as
blabla 1
blabla 2
bla...
blabla 50
and then i flip it over and continue
blabla 51
blabla 52
blabla 53
etc
I want to then reorder it so it's something like:
image 1.1 and image 1.2 (originally image 1 and image 100)
...
image 50.1 and image 50.2 (originally image 50 and image 51)
I know it would be more sensible to finish scanning the first side, then do 2*n - 1 on all the numbers so 1 becomes 1 2 becomes 3, 3 becomes 5, and so on such that when i flipped it over but let's imagine that I forgot to do that, oops.
