Batch scan form - Being able to get the currently images in naps (imageList) as the source for _scans in the batchScanPerformer class. Need direction...

[christianclavet]

Hi,

I would like to use the content of already scanned pictures that are in NAPS2, and process them for output by the BatchScanPerformer class. As an example, I would scan images with PATCH-T (or other barcodes) directly in NAPS , perhaps edit some of them and finally would export them as mutliples files automatically with the barcodes.

I've been able to add this in the GUI quite easily.

I would need some guidance on how to access the currently scanned images (_imageList) and use the ImageList in the output.
I've seen that it's is fully developped the other way around with delegate ACTIONS (imageCallback). I'm new to this stuff (delegates), and don't know how I could transfert the data from the stored ProcessedImages to give them the the output (seem to use _scans to hold the data)

Any help and guidance on how to do this would be appreciated. I'm not an advanced programmer yet, but willing to learn.

I later plan to use this and have output with signal files (text, containing a list of the files) so a pipeline can catch what Naps2 is outputting and process it. I've tested the Latest version of NAPS2 (8.2.1) and it's really fast at processing and I'm really impressed with all the new features you've added so far!

Thanks

Interesting concept. It should be fairly straightforward:

• Inject UiImageList into BatchScanPerformer by adding it as a constructor parameter
• Pass that into the BatchState constructor (similar to other dependencies like _scanPerformer or _profileManager)
• In the Input() function, _scans.Add(_imageList.Images.Select(x => x.GetClonedImage()).ToList())

Wow! Thanks! The injection method worked like magic, and the line of code worked as-is. I only needed to recheck the validation as the new radio button was not in the condition. I tested with a bunch of images and it outputted it perfectly! There would be a need to have a better progress report than a single line in the future. But it now work!

With more work, this might be possible to integrate NAPS with Document Processing Pipelines (At least the one we use at work). I've almost completed a small file watcher that would check for a signal and prepare the files for submitting them to the pipeline. I only need a file with a list of the image that need to be created when everything has been completed.

I just need to disable the LOAD option in the output when this option is selected, as it would be non-sense to put back in NAPS what was there in the first place.

I will try to submit this when completed, but I've only done the windows side. French and Spanish translations for the new button have been done. The output with the signal file will be in the output option. I would surely propose it; but as a separate patch.

Thanks again for the help! It's really appreciated!
