Hi
My suggestion would be to import all the .xy data into one table in a database, then runn a simple query to extract whatever type of information you need.

Hi Nan,
one simple way you could achive this is to dump the velocity files out (Reconstructions -> Export -> Add export -> Velocities), chose GMT (*.xy) as output and then batch process the output files with GMT's "gmt gmtinfo" (formerly minmax). This should leave you with a min/max for each reconstruction time step for the global files (ie NOT per plate).
Haven't read Sabin's paper to the level of detail on whether they provide a cook book recipe/workflow using GPlates, so there might be a better/more detailed explanation in the paper/blog entry.
Cheers,
Christian
