Multiple Data Export at Once

Hi is it possible to export multiple track data? I have hundreds of them and it seems only way to export is selecting a track and then File/Export/Data file for each.

One way to export multiple track data at once is this:

1. choose one track to plot and set the axes to the variables of interest
2. right-click the plot and choose Compare With... from the popup menu
3. select the other tracks of interest. I have never tried this with hundreds of tracks!!
4. double-click the plot to open all the plotted data in Data Tool
5. select all cells in the Data Tool table, then right-click and choose Copy Contents

This will copy the data to the clipboard.

If you change an axis variable in the Tracker plot you can then double-click the plot again to open the new data (for all plotted tracks) in Data Tool.

Dear Douglas, just got the new release. It is so useful, thank you! Although the software itself is very useful for pedestrian tracking, since I am tracking many of them (hundreds sometimes) data export was a bit difficult. With this feature it seems problem solved.
