Has someone done some work/thinking about batch scanning?

I actually started playing around with this over the last couple of days
(figured it was a good excuse to learn more about GTK programming).

I'm still playing with constructing the new dialog box, but here is the
theory that I had in mind:

o make a Batch dialog box, with a list widget in it, and a couple of buttons.
o when the "Add" button is pressed, 'get' all the current device options
and store them in a structure; add an entry to the list.
o when the "Start" button is pressed, simply go through the list, 'set'ing
the options and running a scan for each item (essentially recreating the
environment in which the user pressed "add")
o throw in some other buttons for Delete, Cancel, Save, etc.

It will be at least a week or two before I get anything useful out of this,
I'm sure. Any suggestions? Anyone anxious to do it instead?
