Opening Files from File Lists

When Mira opens a File List, it sees the file as containing the names of actual files to be opened. Mira processes each file name in the file list and opens it in turn, as if you had used the Open dialog to select each of the files. The first procedure below describes opening a single File List.

Open this command from the File menu. You may also filter the listing by changing the Files of type option to select ".axf" files.

Set the Open as Image Set option to open all files as an Image Set in a single Image Window or into individual Image Windows.
Click the [Open] button to open all files contained in the file list.

Open Dialog Properties
Flip FITS Files	Check this box to flip FITS format images so that row number increases downward. Normally, FITS images are stored with rows number increasing upward and that is they normal way they are to be displayed.
Open as Image Set	Check this box to open all selected images together in a single Image Window. If unchecked, each image is opened in a different window.
[File List >>]	Opens the selected images or selected File List in a File List Editor. Use this for editing a file list before opening or to create a file list from the marked images.

Note	When one or more file lists is selected, do not use the [File List >>} button to create a file list of file lists as this can confuse Mira.
