# Editor Opener
# Will Styler - 2012
#
# This script will just open all files in a folder in editor windows, one after another
#
# So, it'll open file1, you can make your measurements, unpause, and it'll open file2...
#
# Also, it'll save the files to a given directory, in case you've made any cuts or edits.  Just save them to /tmp/ if you don't want them.
#
# This makes the script great for cleaning and reviewing stimuli.
