    Lightbulb [Request - Suggestion] A means to perform repetitive actions

    In a previous posting, I mentioned to Bill Taylor (Soquilly) about enabling XWD to have plugins or scripts.

    The following I think illustrates the utility of being able to do this.

    Let us say you have an online year book or company employee roister and you want to use PopUp Layers to display enlarged photos and individual statistics (as demoed in the XWD's Introduction template).

    Currently, you'd have to manually create individual layers for each person and place the enlarged photo on each respective layer.

    If a scripts could be written, then something like this could be done:
    1- dialog to display Windows Explorer
    2- select files
    3- execute importing (read and store filenames as an array, create layers using filenames, add images to their respective layers).
    4- optionally add smaller lower-res thumnails to the Mouse Off layer and create PopUp layer links.
