That option in tpsUtil will do what you wish. The trick is just that the files must be in the same directory. You just select the directory – not individual files because the program will then display a list of all the tps files in that directory and you can select which ones should be combined and in which order.

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?
