If you have Morpheus, you could manually or write a batch file to...
1. Import .tps file
2. Save as Morpheus file
3. Repeat as needed
4. Open first new Morpheus file
5. Append next
6. Repeat as needed
7. Export to .tps file
The steps/script would look something like...
Import tps ./dir/data1.tps
Saveas ./dir/data1.mdt
Import ./dir/data2.tps
Saveas ./dir/data2.mdt
...
Open ./dir/data1.mdt
Append ./dir/data2.mdt
...
Export tps ./dir/data.mdt
You could save a bit of typing and reduce the chance of typographical
errors by using user-defines and a nested batch processing...
1. Create a batch file called, say, io.btc containing
Import tps $fn$.tps
Saveas $fn$.mdt
2. Call it from another, say, convert.btc...
Define $fn$ ./dir/data1
Batch io.btc
Define $fn$ ./dir/data2
Batch io.btc
...
Open ./dir/data1.mdt
Append ./dir/data2.mdt
...
Saveas ./dir/data.mdt
Really, there are several ways to do it. Actual syntax details and
example batch files can be found in the user's guide.
And as with most operations involving large numbers of structured data,
a column - capable editor like jEdit can be most helpful.

Hi All,
So I am facing a dilemma, where I have digitized landmarks on 90
individuals, for each of 11 populations. The images and the associated
TPS file for each population is located in a separate folder (i.e. one
folder per population).
Now, I want to combine the TPS files from each population, into one
single TPS file. Is this possible? If so, how do I do it?
I have tried clicking append, (File>Save data>Append) in TPS Dig2, as
well as the Append files option in the drop down menu of TPS Util. In
both cases, I get the dialog box, where it asks for an input directory
and an output directory, however, no option to select multiple TPS
files is available.
It occurred to me that perhaps the separate TPS files had to be
located in the same folder, (I did not check the "include path" option
when I created each individual TPS file), but even so, when I repeat
the Append files steps listed above, I am still presented with the
input/output directory options and only the one TPS that was
originally associated with that folder (i.e. pop1 TPS file is the only
one available in the pop1 directory, even though I have copied the
pop2 TPS file and images over, as well).
Any suggestions? Or will I have to start over with a TPS file
containing all images from all the populations as one?
Kind regards,
Daniel.
