- All macros are using the same file requester for choosing one or
- more file(s). The requester for single files is used as usual,
- when choosing multiple files it is a little bit different, be-
- cause you have some options. These are used to make the choice
- as easy as possible. In any case, look to the title-line of the
- filerequester, informing you always, what choice you should
- make. When working on a sequence, you choose a drawer as desti-
- nation of the operation. If the macro needs a row of files to
- create a source-file, choose the basename of the new filesequen-
- ce.

- SEQUENCE
- If the files are a sequence with continous numerical extension,
- choose the "Sequence" option. In the two requesters you choose
- the first and last file.
-
- Example: Picture.001, Picture.002, Picture.003 ...
-
- The sequence may not have gaps, in this case choose the "Alpha-
- Sort" option. The files must reside in the same directory, the
- point is optional. The number of digits is as you like, but it
- must be constant in a sequence.
- [PAGE]
- SPECIFY
- You want to select single files of the sequence, because they
- are distributed p.e. in different drawers.
-
- Example: Object.lwo, RAM:Object2.lwo, NewObject.lwo ...
-
- You choose one by one file in the requester and click OK, if you
- want no more file to select, click to CANCEL.
- [PAGE]
- LIST
- You have made a list of files to work on in a texteditor or
- changed it. Specify the names with full path description in the
- list, each line a file without empty lines.
-
- Example: DH1:Store/Object.lwo, RAM:Object2.lwo ...
-
- You choose this list in the requester. Useful is this especial-
- ly, if you want to work on the same files again.
- [PAGE]
- DIRECTORY
- If you want to work on all files of a drawer at the same time or
- you have copied the files for that in a temporary directory,
- this option is the right choice. Remember, that the follow of
- files is set by the order of producing the files. In that way
- you can easy set the following, by copying the files in the wan-
- ted follow into a new drawer.
- [PAGE]
- ALPHASORT
-
- If you want a alpha-sorting of the files and there are no files
- between the files to work on (after sorting), which are not fit-
- ting to them, then use this option.
-
- Example: AAA.002, AAA.003, B.lwo, bbb.001
-
- The way of sorting was adjusted to LW (in spite of unusual hand-
- ling of the special-characters), because else the files would
- come up in the requester in an other follow as in the sorted
- list.
