ok managed to kind of fix it. Turns out that if any folders are alphabetically before the sequence name it will stop processing it as a sequence. for (i = 0; i < parseResults.length; ++i) { if (parseResults ) { if (! result) { result = files ; } } else { //case in which a file name did not contain a...

hmmm.... actually my logic is maybe flawed a little. My theory now is that it falls over when the file sequences at the top level start with a letter later in the alphabet than any folders in that directory. So if my root level sequence is: freds_anim_{####].tga and there is a folder starting with a...

Just through it might c...

On a few projects lately I've found a couple of issues with smart import. It usually works fine except for certain sequences in the top level folder that begin with letters from M onwards. Recursive folder imports don't exhibit the problem only the top level folder. What it will do for the top level...
