Give us the ability to import data sets from the File> Export> Data Sets as Files dialog

I use the Data Sets feature a lot (in a week I use it to export dozens and even hundreds of files). I create them from several txt files. My workflow is:

1. Create txt File

2. Open template file in photoshop

3. Go to Image> Variables> Data Sets, then press "Import" (The CSV file is the same all the time).

4. Go to File> Export> Data Sets as Files dialog box

5. For me, I always export the files to the same folder, so I just hit "Ok" to generate the files.

 

I would love to have steps 3 & 4 combined - give me a button in the Exporft Data Sets as Files to import the txt file faster, especially since I don't change those -- I just need to import the txt file and export the finished PSD. 

This current process isn't horrible, but I have to go through 2 main menu trees to do what could be in one. 

 

I envision the new form for the Export dialog box to ask the folder and file to import, then press "Import Data", then hit "Ok" (or better, rename it to "Export Files") to do these steps in one main step.

 

I recognize that this is a fringe case that many people don't take advantage of, but for those of us creating volume activity, this would be so very helpful!

 

Thanks for your consideration and votes!
