It doesn't appear to allow you to select = subsets of still images from a folder when you choose force alphabetical = -- It imports the whole folder as an image sequence. At least that is = what it is doing here.

I wasn't sure if there was some other way I was missing to force = alphabetical upon a subset of images in a folder.

You can also check the "force = alphabetical" button in the import dialog = box.

These are a series of animation shots --  in one example, 360 = frames total in a folder and I need to import 14 of them as one = particular scene and shot.

It appears I cannot select a sub-set of the files in a folder for import = as a sequence and force alphabetical order. It always wants to import = the whole folder of files as the sequence in spite of my selection. Do I = have to place each specific scene and shot in its own folder to be able = to force alphabetical order? Or what am I missing here?

If the online help talks specifically about this I've missed it.

Thanks much,

James
