You can even use the psd-manager trial for this purpose. The xxx format plugin is free to use.
NicolasC your loop actually runs too far, it should stop at (re.NumRenderElements() - 1).

Hi Dan :)

Sorry I don't follow you on that point ?

If you have just 1 render element you will call re.SetRenderElementFilename 2 times for example. No harm done here since SetRenderElementFilename seems to check the bounds, but if someone modifies/reuses the code then it could cause problems. This would be the fixed version:

re = maxOps.GetCurRenderElementMgr()
for i = 0 to re.NumRenderElements()-1  do re.SetRenderElementFilename i ".xxx"
