Scan and merge inserts in wrong order

[brummelte]

Thanks for adding scan and merge. This would greatly help with duplex scanning.

The only problem is that when scanning the back sides, the last page is scanned first. So it does not currently work as expected. Currently the backside of the last page is inserted as page 2, the backside of the second last page is inserted as page 4 and so on.

I would either need to reorder all pages physically or digitally afterwards. Which kind of defeats the benefit.

If you don't consider this a bug, then it would be great if there was a setting to somehow change it to reverse order.

You're of course right, I should have catched that issue. I'll add a reverse option in the next feature update.

Alright, I think this is what it's gonna look like and it seems fairly easy to use. You'll be able to select whether the first number box controls the first page or the last page by toggling a button. If I'm not mistaken, this should solve the issue you're describing. Please notify me, if I missed anything!

Not trying to rush, but do you have an ETA on this? It seems that the release was scheduled for end of May.

[simon-knuth]

That's correct. I have encountered some severe issues when I tried to finalize the update for the Microsoft Store. These are fixed now and if my last tests succeed, I'll finally release the update next week! (no promises though 😬)

This is included in the v3.2 release.

Thanks, seems to be working really well, this will safe me quite some time.

I think this should even be the default, I can't see any reason anyone would use the other ordering.

If you disagree, could you please make this setting persist, so that I don't have to change it every time?

Do you want me to create a new issue for that?

[simon-knuth]

Those suggestions make a lot of sense and I've already got both of these implemented (reversing will be the default and the setting will be remembered), so this will be included with the next small update.
