Linux Batch image import

Unfortunately none of the batch import scripts work in linux and when drag-and-dropping images you get a quite annoying question asking if you'd like to use the image as a tracing image or a normal image for each and every image.

There's where my script comes in.
It's a nautilus script that places every image layer you have selected into an .anme-file that you can import into your AS-scene.

To use it select all images you'd like to import and run the script from your right-click meny>scripts. You get a question about which type of layer you'd like to place the images in; Group, bone or switch.
Now it can take a few seconds if you've got many images. When done you've got a file called "image-export.anme" in the same folder as the images that you can import into your AS-scene.

To install the script place it in your nautilus scripts-folder, $HOME/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts, or by right clicking in nautilus and select >scripts>open scripts folder.
Then make it executable by running "chmod u+x ImagesToAnme.sh" in terminal.

Images to anme Nautilus script

Note that this is a nautilus script, the default file manager of Gnome. You probably can use the script with other flavours of desktop and file managers, I'm just not sure how, google it.

Thank you.
Linux is my production platform nowadays so I'm doing all I can to make work easier.
