Brief Summary:

We need an application to further automate current tasks that are partially automated.  We scan legal files.  As such, they are normally:

a. Numbered.
b. Sequential.
c. A mess.

Most of the times, the adjustment to be made is either on pages that were not numbered, pages that were printed on both sides (duplex), or missing pages.  

In such cases, you will find that the sequence of pages does not match the normal, logical sequence of images. If, for example, you get a file with 100 pages, out of which, pages 25 through 35 are duplex, you will have 110 images.  Our goal is to make sure that the adjusted image numbering matches the actual page numbering, no matter how messy or illogical it is.  That particular example would be:

0001.tiff
0002.tiff 
...
0025.tiff
0025A.tiff
0026.tiff
etc...

I need to be able to tell the system, for example:

a.  That image 25 in a given file is actually page 26, and have it, upon a click, automatically adjust the numbers of all the files in the rest of the sequence.

b.  That images 25 through 50 are really duplex pages, and have it automatically turn them to duplex numbering (1, 1A, 2, 2A, etc) and then adjust the remaining images to match the sequence.

c.  That there should be an additional image in between 24 and 25, thus changing 25 to 26 and adjusting all the rest of the images from there on.

d. That a certain page or pages have an extraordinary numbering. For example 5, 5A, 5B, 5C, 5D, 5E, 6, 7, etc...

e.  That a prefix needs to be added to the image names.  Thus turning 0001.TIFF to Ann-Smith-0001.TIFF

The system, to aid review, should be able to display the selected image on screen along with the list of images and be able to zoom in on the top right corner of the image, where the page number normally is.
