This script combines a series of images from the selected folder into a new document. All layers are named according to the file they represent. The script handles various formats, color modes, and bit-depths, and even preserves transparency.
Note: This script also contains user-customizable variables (near the top of the script) for removing file extensions (on by default), displaying a save prompt upon completion (off by default), and closing after save (off by default).
