Can batch merge window be opened directly?

[danmckinney]

Is there a way to open the HDR merge batch process dialog without opening Aftershot first?

Right now, the only way to access the batch merge window is to first open files in AfterShot, and then select "batch merge" from a drop down menu. Once the batch merge is opened, though, you can close AfterShot remove or add files easily without having to go through AfterShot first. Just wondering if there was a shorter path to get to the batch merge.

I'm processing RAW files in another program, and just want to bypass AfterShot Pro and get right to the batch merge window!
