Add batch processing to automatically run a Patternodes node sequence on all files in a directory, using them as input in an import node, and outputting the result for each file. In other words allow you to use patternodes as an image processor or generate a specific effect quickly based on multiple images.

Multi-import nodeProposal

Add support for importing multiple shapes/images in a single Import node, with controls for which graphic will be used for output. Basically combining multiple Import nodes and an Element List node into one, making it easier to make repeated groups composed of multiple different imported graphics.
