Open All Files in a Directory Tree

The Open All Files in a Directory Tree command allows the user to open all of the files matching a user-specified filename mask under a user-selected directory. Once prompted to select a folder from which to load the files, and a folder is selected, another prompt will allow the user to enter a filename mask for all of the files to load.

After selecting a filename mask, all files under the selected folder which match the filename mask and are recognized by Global Mapper as a known data type will be loaded.

The filename mask supports the * and ? wildcard characters. The default mask of * will check all files under the selected folder. It is possible to indicate that data only be loaded from selected folders as well.

For Example:If you had a large collection of folders with data split up into 1x1 degree blocks with the folder names depicting the 1x1 degree block they held, you could use a directory name mask to load only those blocks that you wanted. For example, you might use a mask of N4?W10?\*.tif to load all TIFF files between N40 and N50 and W110 and W100.

Multiple masks can also be specified, if more than one to description for sets of files to be loaded is desired. Simply separate the masks with a space.
