how to load images from a list of images

[Uli]

Hi,

Is there a way to load images from a text file like:

C:\my_images1\image.png

C:\my_images2\image.png

C:\my_images3\image.png

C:\my_images4\image.png

The GUI does not allow to load multiple images from different folders.

And dropping PNGs from W10 explorer does not work at all.

Thanks,
Uli

I haven't found any, other than passing the image files to PTGui on the
command line like so:

"c:\path\to\ptgui.exe" "C:\my_images1\image.png" "C:\my_images2\image.png"

Works perfectly here. I tried to open the folders one after the other
and dropping images from there on PTGui as well as searching for *.png
in the parent folder (C:\ in your example) and dropping multiple files

from different folders.

No problem here either. Do the files open if you load them via Image ->
Add Images from the menu?

What exactly do you do and what is the outcome (error message etc)?

Hi Erik, 

passing via command line is a good option, thanks. 

I am using collection of images in different folders. The files are looked up by a Python script, thats why I asked for importing via a file list.

Another way I tried: I patched a template project using "filename". I skipped all the other fields, which are filled by PTGUI after the first SAVE-AS.

The PNG images are now working. The problem was on W10 side: the path length was >256. As there was no error message it took me awhile to find out.

Thanks,

Uli
