P: Ability to batch process Photo Merge (HDR and panorama)

The Auto Stack command is in the plugin's Library > Plug-in Extras menu, not File > Plug-in Extras, since it only works in Library.  

Many thanks john that is exactly what I was looking for. However I donwloaded the latest version and it isnt showing the stacking feature in the drop down menu. I am on a mac and all the other anysource options are there other than this one. Any ideas?

Thanks again!

@Douglas291457447gwc, you don't need a script with current versions of LR to merge multiple sequences in a single batch operation:

1. In Library, select the folder or collection containing the multiple sequences.

2. Do the command Photo > Stacking > Auto-Stack By Capture Time. 

3. Select all the photos in the folder or collection and Photo > Photo Merge. 

If you have long exposures, then Auto-Stack By Capture Time might be confused -- the Auto Stack command of the Any Source plugin as an alternative.

Hi @FeedbackCommunityMember would you possibly be able to share the script that you use for this? I dont know much about scripting unfortunately, however this would massivly help me out if it is still possible. 

Many thanks!

This can be easily done by a script that imports a fixed number of pictures into an empty catalog by using the catalog:addPhoto function.  By using the stackWithPhoto parameter of that function you can create stacks with a fixed number (equal to the number of pictures in a bracket) of pictures in it.  By processing a complete folder automatically in this way, we have a number of stacks than can be processed further. 

You need to collapse all stacks manually (still no stack functions in Lightroom SDK) and then you can start HDR merge for the complete folder

I have this now in use for batching HDRs and it saves quite a lot of time.
