[thelist] Photoshop - importing patterns directly from image files

[David Siedband]

Is there a way to get PhotoshopCS to load a pattern directly from an 
image file instead of having to open the image file, select-all, and do 
edit->define pattern then go back to the fill palette?  This seems like 
too many clicks to do something so simple...  FireworksMX lets you load 
image files directly from the pattern dialogue.

Do I need to batch convert my textures to .pat files?  Anyone seen a 
script to do this?

thanks
