I'm also trying to do exactly that, but I think xscanimage doesn't handle it
quite right.     My camera backends have an "image number" selection which 
is constrained from 1 to the number of images in the camera.  If I delete
one of the images, the range is decremented.  I set SANE_INFO_RELOAD_OPTIONS,
during the "scan" but I've observed the following:

- The image range slider is not updated at the termination of the scan 

- If the first thing I do after the scan is click on the image number slider,
  xscanimage aborts with a memory fault

- If I click on something else like a checkbox, then the slider range also
  gets updated.
