Just wanted to know if it is possible with a smart group or a script.
I have a MFC Brother printer/scanner that I am using to scan pages into Devonthink. I use the Devonthink import tab instead of using the Brother software to scan pages into Devonthink.
What I normally do is I sort my documents before scanning them into 1 sided and 2 sided documents
For the 1 sided no issues but my question for 2 sided documents
I can enable duplex scan that is fine both sides are being scanned and imported in Devonthink. BUT is it possible to automaticly create just 1 Document out of every duplex scanned document? So that I don’t have to combine all those duplex documents afterwards. There will be no blank pages because I just use duplex scan for documents that really do have both sides printed
Brother MFC-L2750DW but like I said I am not using the Brother software to scan documents but the integrated scanning in Devonthink
My goal would be that after import to the inbox there is a smart rule or script running that checks if the scan had duplex enabled and if so combines page 1 and 2 into 1 document or something like that
I don’t think that you can check “of duplex scan has been enabled”. And even if you could, there’s no direct relation to the pages arriving in DT: the moment the script checks the condition, it might already have been changed for another document. Race condition.
I don’t use DT scanning but scan to a network folder from the scanner itself. No problem there. Nor with scanning to email.
But I seem to remember that DT scan offers a “binder”. Perhaps that helps.
No worries.
While we can never completely document everything that could be done in DEVONthink, we provide a lot of documentation. So I’d say, most answers are documented somewhere.
