Bug Description
This report is similar to #685450, however not necessarily a duplicate.
If one sets the crop frame as desired at the begging of a scan procedure, that frame will applied to every consecutive scan. Sometimes, however, a user forgets to set the crop fram initially, scans 60 pages thinking they have the frame, and only then realises the crop frame has not been chosen initially. Then, every page has to be cropped manually and independently.
Request:
Consider a situation such as the aforementioned. A user has a large number of pages that all need to be cropped in the same way, say the "letter" size crop frame needs to be applied to the upper part of all pages. A user should right click on some page choose "Crop" from the context menu, choose "Letter" from the size options, and then Position the Letter size crop frame as desired. Next comes the the part currently missing from Simple Scan. The user should then be able to right click on the same page, choose "Crop" from the context menu, and there should be an option "Apply to all pages" which will apply the chosen frame & position of the frame to all scanned pages.
#685450 makes an alternative feature request that can also achieve the aforementioned desired result. However, #685450 seems to be a broader request that would be harder to implement than the one just described above.

I will close this bug report because there is ongoing discussion about:
- fixing page size/autocrop: bug #611036 and bug #550856
- cropping multiple pages at once: bug #685450
Right now these bugs are used more as threads for discussion and not so much for tracking progress of a issue/patch/change. Having all of the discussion in one place is beneficial in this case. Once there is a patch/change concerning either of the bugs mentioned above, we (that is you as the requester) should reevaluate if additional changes seem necessary. In the meantime I do not see a benefit in splitting discussion into one more place. Better contribute to the discussion in those tickets.
Best Regards
Michael
