Interface Tool - Browse single or multiple files at a time

Need to give the user the flexibility to select either single input  file OR  multiple files  from a given location.. 

 

Alternatively will have to give multiple browse options for the files which is cumbersome selecting individually.

 

Is it doable?

Hey @remarsha,

 

What happens when the multiple files option is executed? Are they just unionized? 

 

You could offer the option to select with a Radio Button what Input should be used -

- Eather a regular input or

- a directory input combined with a batch macro that reads all files together.

Yes they are unionized. 

Reg - "a directory input combined with a batch macro that reads all files together" - these are one set of input files.

 

Apart from this have two other separate inputs (both single files).

 

WIll macro work in this case? Any guidance on the macro front will help as haven't used it.
