Then # FILE_NAME followed by the name of the file (found in the directory specified by DIR_NAME). If the files are spread across multiple directories, DIR_NAME can be the root directory (/) then theĀ FILE_NAME would be home/me/data/tiffs/00001.tif etc
Additional datasets can be added to this file (for example the I0 value associated with each frame) by adding more tab-separated columns in addition to the FILE_NAME column.
Creating Link Files using the Command Line
If you are confident using the command line on Windows or Linux the list of files required for this file can be easily created.
Navigate to the folder containing the files and:
On windows type: dir /b > my_link_file.dawn
On Linux type: ls > my_link_file.dawn
The file created, my_link_file.dawn, should contain a list of all the files in the directory which the header can then be added to. As with most command-line tools wildcard matching can be used to only select certain files during the ls or dir step.
