[idea] empty page detection (& deletion)
-
Proposal: paperwork should detect if a scanned page is empty, and delete such pages immediately after scanning. Alternatively, mark such pages as
to-delete
, and give users the option to intervene before deletion (new document action 'select empty pages', or pre-selection of empty pages once scanning is done). -
Use case: As a user of a duplex feed scanner, I often bulk scan paper, which is partially duplex printed, partially single-sided. To run a single command over the whole batch, I select duplex scanning. Afterwards I end up with lots of empty pages, that I need to delete manually.

Note: Main driver for me opening this feature request is that the workflow of deleting pages is currently quite painful. There is no keyboard shortcut, each page requires 3 clicks. This is in addition to difficult page navigation (partially due to #973 (comment 1396672))
