Batch convert pspimage to pspframe?

Hi,
i have created a large number of pspimages that I would like to use as pspframes, but to convert them individually would take quite some time. Is it possible to convert them as a batch and if so, how to I provide the information to the batch converter so that I attain the desired results?
Also, is it possible to designate a new frame group for the new frames?
Thanks!
Sue

It's possible to record a Script of the process of exporting an image as a Picture Frame. However, to get it to work in the Batch Process window you'd need to do a little manual Python coding to adjust it - specifically, you'd want to identify the filename of the original image, compose an appropriate frame name based off that and feed that name into the Export Picture Frame command.

How to do this kinda is in the help and PSPX2 Scripting API documentation on the FTP site, but it's definitely not a task that'll suit everyone.

I might be able to put a script together to do this for you but it's unlikely to be before the weekend as I'm kinda snowed under

Dear Alli,
Thank you so very much. When I didn't hear back after a couple of days after posting, I took it that it wasn't possible. I've requested improved batch conversion functionality for the next release. In the interim, I converted all 150 frames manually - UGH.
with gratitude for your extremely kind offer,
Sue

Oh wow - 150 frames?! Blimey yeah, I bet that took some doing

I'll keep the auto-frame-making script thing on my do-list I think. Somebody else is bound to want it sooner or later
