Hey, I have a quick question about saving multiple chart images at one time. I realize that this feature may not be built in, but I am wondering about the possibility of doing this. What I would like to be able to do is set a time and date for all charts in a chartbook then save all the images at once instead of setting time/date and saving each chart in the book separately. Is this possible with the current build? and if not what is the feasibility of writing a script myself to handle this type of output? Thanks in advance.

You could implement a solution by using ACSIL and this particular function: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/ACSIL_Members_Functions.html#scSaveChartImageToFileExtended Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

Yeah, that looks like it will work. Can you give me a little more background on the function documentation, which says "If this function is called multiple times during a call into a study function, only the most recent call will be processed. The other calls to this function will be disregarded." Is the reason that the subsequent calls are disregarded because of the process of saving the image to the computer? Also if my understanding is correct could I work around this by nesting the scSaveChartImageToFileExtended() within another study function? Thanks for your help.

The reason the subsequent calls are disregarded is because the action is performed after the study function returns. So it only makes sense to do it once. Really it only makes sense to do it once in any case. The idea is to develop a custom study which uses this function and put it on each chart and have each chart be saved at a certain time.
