Modifying the image sequence to import as layers?

I find myself wasting time loading one image at a time. Is their a way to make is so the script just loads every picture in folder as one picture into a new layer with the layers name as the file name?

This should be easy to do. If no one else volunteers I'll take a look at it when I get a chance. If you have Photoshop CS there is a script for PS that will export layers to an Anime Studio file which you could just import. I don't have Photoshop CS so I've never tested that script.

Thanks, I got several traditional frame by frame projects. An importer would a lifesaver.

I must be missing something here. How is this different from using the Import Image Sequence script?

There's both janimatic's import directory script. (scroll down to post #13) and my batch image nautilus script. They should both do exactly what you want depending on which system you use.

All the janimatic links are broken, which is a shame, as the js_image_sequence.lua I've got seems to have a problem (which it didn't use to have...). So this *is* a genuine question.

Edit: aah -- just tried something out. The images I was trying to import had five digits at the end. I changed a group of them to four final digits and they imported OK. Something to bear in mind if you don't know (or maybe it's me just being a dork again!?)

Thank your ylleman. I'm on windows and janimatic script does the job.

OK I haven't tested this yet, but could someone tell me have I understood this correctly -
- you use these scripts on a directory full of images, and it brings them all into an AS file, in seperate image layers? That's awesome!

Yes, in one group layer instead of a switch. But don't use it indiscriminately or you will end up spending more time deleting then just doing one at a time.
