makelow: Make background images for selected image series

Makelow is a front-end to the backgroundimage program. It will make backgroundimages for all specified series of image files.

Usage

The program is invoked by the command line:

makelow [lowlimit=#] [gui] <imagefilenames or directories>

Different image file types are recognized from their names. If no files are specified, all ".kcd*" files in the current directory will be used. If a directory is given, all "*.kcd*" files in that directory are used (this might be useful if you get an "argument list too long" error from the shell).

If the "gui" option is given, a GUI will pop up to guide you through the process.

No "low" image is created for series shorter than 15 images. This limit can be changed using the "lowlimit=#" option, but if you lower it please check the created image for leftover reflections before using it!

The background images for each series will be written to a file "*low.kcd" (e.g. for s01f001.kcd through s01f090.kcd to the file s01flow.kcd) in the current directory. If another destination directory is required, this can be specified using the "destdir=XXXX" option.
