How to Open Multiple Files into One Image with a Format Plug-in?

Basic overview question:
I'm interested in creating a format plug-in that will open multiple image files and combine them, then provide one image to Photoshop for further work.
1.  Can an .8bi plug-in receive notification of multiple files to be opened?  (Not unlike Camera Raw).  Or does one absolutely need to use an .8ba Import plug-in to do this?  I would prefer .8bi.
2.  Assuming yes, could the latter parts of the plug-in interface be used to open just one combined image?
Thanks!
-Noel

1) An import plugin (8bi) doesn't get file information - it has to provide it's own open dialog.  Only a file format plugin gets a file, but only one at a time.  (ACR has some special magic)
You might want to take a look at the PhotoMerge and MergeToHDR setups with a script driving a plugin.

  • How to merge multiple files into one pdf

    I would like help with this task. If I could do this for free I woul actually be more likely to follow advice. Many thanks

    Hi Lauravill,
    The free Adobe Reader cannot help you with the merging job. If you have Acrobat Reader then you can merge files into one pdf with the following steps-
    Within Acrobat XI, select File > Create > Combine Files into a Single PDF.
    Click Add Files and select the files you want to add.
    Click, drag, and drop to reorder the files and pages. Double-click on a file to expand and rearrange individual pages. Press the Delete key to remove unwanted content.
    When finished arranging the files, click Combine Files.
    Select File > Save As > PDF.
    Name your PDF file and click Save.
    Let us know if you face any problemwith this or need extra support.
    Thanks

  • How to open multiple files on one layer

    hi there,
    I have a fairly simple problem and I browsed through all the different FAQs to find it but nothing came up. In any case, my question is how do you select multiple files (in this case PNGs) and open them as individual layers on one file instead of opening them as separate files?
    easy huh? I'm a noob ok.
    thanks
    -Chance

    Russell Brown has a CS4 version of his services.
    As Wolf points out, if you have CS4 then you already have access to a script that will also do what you want. I happened to notice though, that the built-in script and the Russell Brown script work slightly differently. The RB script will crop all images based on the first one loaded. The built-in script will apparently use the dimensions of the largest image.
    It was a nit but I thought the title of the thread would be more accurate as "Help opening multiple images as layers in a single file" or something like that.

    Put the files you want on the first page into the folder, and then use subfolders for the subsequent pages. If the process you saw involved Launchpad on a newer OS, it can’t be done on 10.6.8.

  • How to open multiple sessions for one user?

    Sorry for the silly question but I couldn't find it googling or searching through this forum, so I started wondering whether it's possible in SQL Developer to open multiple sessions for one user. I'm fairly new to SQL Developer and databases in general.
    When I open SQL Developer and connect to a schema, a worksheet opens named MYSCHEMA. If I disconnect then connect, another worksheet opens, named MYSCHEMA~1. I assumed these were different sessions, but if I enter into one worksheet:
    select col1 from my_table where row_id = 1
    -- shows result is 1
    update my_table set col1 = 0 where row_id = 1
    select col1 from my_table where row_id = 1
    -- shows result is 0and then enter into the second worksheet:
    select col1 from my_table where row_id = 1
    -- shows result is 0I would have expected the second worksheet to report 1 because the first worksheet did not issue a COMMIT. Thus, I'd guess both worksheets are the same session? Is that right? If so, how do I have two sessions open simultaneously (opened by same user)?
    I'm trying to implement the code at the bottom of this post, for which testing requires at least two sessions:

    Thanks Jim,
    Ctrl-Shift-N doesn't do anything for me. I'm on a mac -- by experimenting it looks like command-N does what you're looking for. This appears to be the same as left-clicking on the "New" icon in the top left corner of SQL Developer, or selecting from the pull-down menu, File > New.
    This opens "Create a New" window that appears to be a wizard. What would I select at this point? Options are: Database Connection, Table, View, Package, ...
    I don't see an option for "Worksheet".
    UPDATE:
    OK, I found that if I select "SQL File", a worksheet becomes available. Perhaps this is what you intended. However, when I issue the command
    select col1 from my_table where row_id = 1;it still returns 0 instead of 1. Hmm, maybe my initial assumption was wrong -- if this is a second (e.g. different) session, should I expect the changes made in the first session in SQL Developer (the UPDATE command) WITHOUT a commit, to be observed in this second session? I thought that changes made in one session were not viewable in a different session until these changes are committed in the first session? If so, how to show this in SQL Developer? I must be missing something basic here.
    Or, is SQL Developer issuing some sort of "auto-commit" without my knowledge?

    Hi:
    How can I edit MPEG or convert DVD or MPEG to DV
    http://www.sjoki.uta.fi/%7Eshmhav/SVCDon_a_Macintosh.html#edit_convertMPEG
    Matti says it better than any of us:
    how/where you can join clips with Streamclip
    Also MPEG Streamclip guide explains it.
    MPEG Streamclip can join similar MPEG files: The joined files must have the same PIDs, the same start codes, and the same audio/video properties (that is, they must come from the same source or channel).
    Using "Convert to MPEG" before joining the files can be helpful, because it changes PIDs and start codes to a default value. The preferred method to join streams is to Copy one stream in MPEG Streamclip, open another stream and Paste it there. This method checks that the joined streams indeed are compatible. Another method is to put the MPEGs in the same folder, and rename them so that they sort as desired in list view. Then select them via MPEG Streamclip's "File/Open Files..." dialog box (Shift- or Command-click to select multiple MPEGs). Then choose "Edit/Fix Timecode Breaks". After this MPEG Streamclip should report the combined length of all MPEGs (check the Log Window if you want to know whether any timecode breaks were found). Then choose "File/Convert to MPEG... or /Save As..." to save them in a single file. If the video transition between two files looks bad, you can use the Cut command to improve it. You can join very different and incompatible MPEGs with this latter method so the end result is not guaranteed to work.
    MPEG Streamclip can also edit MPEG files. Just set In/Out points (with I/O keys), Cut unwanted material off and choose "File/Convert to MPEG...". You can also Cut/Copy selections to other parts of the same stream or open another compatible stream and Paste it there. Shift-dragging the playhead can also be used to define a selection. Option + arrow keys jump to the beginning/end or In/Out points. You can use the Trim-command to more closely see a part of the video before cutting, then choose Revert Trimming to see all material. JKL-keys can be used to enable fast forward or reverse playing. The scroll wheel works also; with the Option key it scrolls 1 second per click. See the manual for more details on how to jump in single frame, GOP, 1 second, 10 second or 1 minute chunks when searching a specific spot in the video.
    Editing and trimming can be accurate only if In and Out are both on keyframes because MPEG Streamclip edits to the GOP, not to the frame. For DVD and (XS)VCD the maximum GOP size is PAL 15 and NTSC 18 frames, so the editing accuracy can be up to about 0.6 seconds. You can advance to the previous or next keyframe (i.e. I-frame, the beginning of each GOP or Group Of Pictures) with the Up/Down arrow keys -- you can also use the Edit/Go to Keyframe command to see where the In and Out points really are when editing (the In point is included in the selection, the Out point is not included). Shift + Up/Down arrow keys allow fine-tuning the selection to the GOP.

  • Open Multiple files in One go......

    Hi all,
    I need to open multiple file jpg files present at a particular location in one go. I am developing the application in ADF and i used the following code in for loop
    response[i] = (HttpServletResponse) fctx.getExternalContext().getResponse();
    // file should be downloaded without display
    response.setContentType("application/x-download");
    response[i].setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachement; filename=\"document "+listFiles[i].substring(0,(listFiles[i].length()-4))+".bmp\"");
    but it opens only one file(the last one of the for loop). Finally i evn tried Runtime.getruntime again in a for loop, still it didnt work.

  • How to concatenate multiple records into one

    Hi everybody:
    I want to know if exist some way to concat multiple records into one without using cursors. For example, I have a table named "Authors" like this:
    Lan|Author
    English|Ernest Hemingway
    Spanish|Octavio Paz
    Spanish|Mario Vargas Llosa
    English|Sinclair Lewis
    Spanish|Gabriel García Márquez
    And I want to get this:
    Author
    Octavio Paz, Mario Vargas Llosa, Gabriel García Márquez
    I have worked with SQL Server and I can do something like this:
    CREATE FUNCTION dbo.MyConcat (@lan varchar(10))
    RETURNS varchar(5000) AS
    BEGIN
    declare @retvalue varchar(5000)
    set @retvalue=''
    select @retvalue = @retvalue + Author +',' from Authors where lan = @lan
    return substring(@retvalue,1,len(@retvalue)-1)
    END
    ie, do not use cursors to concatenate records. However, with ORACLE, I have to do someting like this.
    FUNCTION MyConcat(P_Lan IN VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
    v_ret VARCHAR2(4000);
    v_element VARCHAR2(4000);
    v_cursor sys_refcursor;
    BEGIN
    OPEN v_cursor FOR SELECT Author FROM Authors where Lan = P_Lan
    LOOP
    FETCH v_cursor INTO v_elemento;
    EXIT WHEN v_cursor%NOTFOUND;
    IF v_ret IS NULL THEN
    v_ret := v_element;
    ELSE
    v_ret := v_ret || ', ' || v_element;
    END IF;
    END LOOP;
    RETURN v_ret;
    END;
    Exist some other way to do this?
