Importing images from list in a text file

[mwillis]

Hi, I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction.  I have a text file with a large number of photos that I would like to add to a new project.  The images are scattered across several partitions and for reasons that are complicated, I need to leave the images in their current directors.

Is there a way to automatically add files from a text file with the following syntax?

I:\Projects\Marsoulas\D31-D42.5\Wall_Base_Gilles\D37-39_Mos releve 2018Willis.jpg
I:\Projects\Marsoulas\D31-D42.5\Wall_Base_Gilles\D37_38_Connector releve 2018Willis.jpg

... files continue for hundreds of lines

Thanks for any help you can share.

Hello Mark,

You can do it with the Python script:

Code: [Select]

import PhotoScan
path = PhotoScan.app.getOpenFileName("Specify the location of the text file with the paths:")
file = open(path, "rt")
lines = file.readlines()
lines = [line.strip() for line in lines]
chunk = PhotoScan.app.document.addChunk()
chunk.addPhotos(lines)
file.close()
