Subject: Importing Folders with Sub-folders keeping PNG images as image sequences

Hi,

I have got a folder full of folders with PNG renders (more then 25 
sub-folders inside of it).

I know I can import the main folder and all it's sub-folders with simple 
Import->Import Folder, but that doesn't allow me the option to import them 
as PNG Sequences, instead they are imported as single files (hundreds).

Is there a way in AE or a script that allows for correctly importing folders 
and treat the PNG images inside as PNG Sequences?

Alternatively, is there a way to select all the images in a folder and 
interpret them as a PNG sequence after import?

The key here is that by manually importing each sequence in all the folders, 
you loose the folder name and only get the name of the filename of the 
sequence, which isn't containing any specifics what the sequence is.

Thanks,

Anders
