Open multiple files as layers

I am looking for a way to open multiple (>10) files as layers in single Photoshop file, while retaining the original file name as the layer name. Doing the layer duplication from the layers palette gets extremely tedious. Using Photoshop CS in 10.3 on a G5.

I've tried writing an action, but I've been unable to figure out a way to get the file name as the layer name. I end up with multiple layers with the same name.

Any thoughts?

I think you would need scripting to do that. Chekc out the PS scripting forum, the people there should be able to help you.

It can be done as an action rather easily, but getting the file names as layer names would require scripting.

To do it as an action: Make a Master document into which you will put your layers. Then record on one: Duplicate layer using the Master as the destinatoion. That's all there is to it. Now put all the documents (but not tha Master) into a folder and run the action as a Batch on the folder.
