Private tables with Multiple File Import function

CorentinL — Sat, 10 Jun 2023 23:49:14 GMT

Hello,

I'm triying to open multiple csv files and hiding them with the property private when using Multiple File Import () << Import Data.
I am currently using a loop with the Open function :

Open(myFile, private)

It works well, the tables are hidden, but I saw the Multiple File Import function which seems to be faster than the previous loop.

However, when using the << Import Data function, all the tables are opened and visible, and I didn't find a way to hide them with the private property :

mfi = Multiple File Import(
	<<Set Folder(filesPath),
	<<Set Show Hidden( 0 ),
	<<Set Subfolders( 0 ),
	<<Set Name Filter("*.csv; "),
	<<Set Name Enable( 1 ),
	<<Set Size Filter( {30907123, 30907123} ),
	<<Set Size Enable( 0 ),
	<<Set Date Filter( {3736158965.466, 3736158965.466} ),
	<<Set Date Enable( 0 ),
	<<Set Add File Name Column( 1 ),
	<<Set Add File Size Column( 0 ),
	<<Set Add File Date Column( 0 ),
	<<Set Import Mode( "CSVData" ),
	<<Set Charset( "Meilleure supposition" ),
	<<Set Stack Mode( "Table Per File" ),
	<<Set CSV Has Headers( 1 ),
	<<Set CSV Allow Numeric( 1 ),
	<<Set CSV First Header Line( 1 ),
	<<Set CSV Number Of Header Lines( 1 ),
	<<Set CSV First Data Line( 2 ),
	<<Set CSV EOF Comma( 0 ),
	<<Set CSV EOF Tab( 0 ),
	<<Set CSV EOF Space( 0 ),
	<<Set CSV EOF Spaces( 0 ),
	<<Set CSV EOF Other( ";" ),
	<<Set CSV EOL CRLF( 1 ),
	<<Set CSV EOL CR( 1 ),
	<<Set CSV EOL LF( 1 ),
	<<Set CSV EOL Semicolon( 0 ),
	<<Set CSV EOL Other( "" ),
	<<Set CSV Quote( "\!"" ),
	<<Set CSV Escape( "" ),
	<<Set Import Callback( Empty() )
);

// Here, I store every table in a list, but every table are visible
dtList = mfi << Import Data;

Is there a way to do that ?
I am using JMP 16.0.0 with French language. Let me know if you need more information.

Thank you !

I had a response from JMP Support. Apparently, the functionnality is missing but the option will be provide in a future version. One solution is to use Show Window(0) : mfi = (Multiple File Import(... ) << Import Data) << Show Window(0); , but the tables still appear briefly

If you need the functionality, please vote:

The wish is from 2022 - as of today (Aug, 2025), it has the status "Acknowleged"
i.e.
"open for voting, no plans/prioritization (yet) to implement it"
