Hi Alexander,

it would be nice, if you share your python script. I am
badly looking for python examples for the newest 3.2.1
version :-)

Regards!

I would like to automate that using the Python Shell. I would like to load a script into the python shell which does all these steps for me. I already have a script which adds and configures all the filters, but I still have to open the data files manually, because:
