As the title suggests I need a way for Photoshop CS3 extended to read all open documents (usually in the 30's range) and create one new document containing all the old ones as layers. I don't care about naming structure or anything, I just want to try and streamline me dragging and dropping each open file into a new one then closing the old one. I place the following topic in the Photoshop Windows forum and someone pointed me in this direction so I apologize for the duplicate. Here was that message.

Ok, so I have a program that I use that is called ACDsee to keep track of my Digital Scrapbooking supplies (I use bridge for pictures) Is there a script or action out there that could read all open documents (usually all different sizes) in Photoshop (CS3 extended by the way)and create a new document with each of the old docs as layers, closing the old docs along the way. I don't care about naming them, I've just gotten sick of having to drag and drop 30 plus documents into a new one. I have searched every way I know how and I've found the one that will do it from Bridge, but I don't use bridge for the scrap supplies which is really where I get the bulk of my documents. I usually only use one or two pics so they aren't a pain. Any help would be greatly appreciated. And no, I have no idea how to make my own action or script that would accomplish this. And at my learning curve it would take me way more time just to figure that out than to continue in my drag and drop each one, so I was hoping someone out there had already done one Thanks for any advice in advance!
