[sane-devel] How can I get a count of pages scanned by scanimage using batch mode?

[m. allan noah]

Greg- I need to do some research to be sure, but I think we can get the
page count out of the scanner. That would probably require you to call
scanimage an extra time after each batch, and perhaps add a new option to
reset the page counter with the start of each batch, if the scanner does
not do that automatically.
