Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I synchronize my phone scans with my computer. I use SyncThing for that. Right now I have to delete scans in two places: Within the app and the file.

Describe the solution you'd like

Would be fun if the app could recognize deleted files. And delete those scans in the app, too.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Only delete scans in the app. Create a script that deletes all files in the folder regularly. Those files are all recreated as long as they exist in the app.

Research direction

The request concerns scans synchronized between the phone and computer through SyncThing, but it names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the scan file and deletion handling, then clarify the intended two-way deletion behavior and how externally deleted files should be reflected in the app. Done should be demonstrated with tests for the agreed synchronization cases.
