The patch we were discussing earlier in this thread is the desire to combine a
bunch of separate images into a single image with just one "part", with tons of
channels. That was a little trickier and lacked a specific command for it. But
for a long time we have had the ability to combine separate images into a
single file with multiple subimages (what exr calls "parts").
Are you saying that you have rendered separate images for, say, RGB,
Diffuse.{R,G,B}, Specular.{R,G.B}? And you want to turn that into a single
multi-part exr where each of the original images is a separate part?
I think you could have done that all along with
oiiotool rgb.exr diffuse.exr specular.exr --siappendall -o multipart.exr
