History

Checks a sequence for missing frames.

General Usage:

Hit the "SequenceChecker" button.
Choose a file that is part of a file sequence.
If there are missing files found, check the MAXScript listener for details about which files are missing.

For example, if you have the following sequence:

	Foobar0001.tga
	Foobar0003.tga
	Foobar0004.tga
	Foobar0008.tga

Then the following will be printed to the listener:

	Missing Frames in 1 to 8 (individual frames):
	2,5,6,7

	Missing Frames in 1 to 8 (compressed sequence):
	2,5-7

The first listing will list all missing frame number individually.

The second listing will attempt to detect "runs" of numbers and print them in a more compact form. This format is suitable for copying and pasting into the Render Setup->Time Output->Frames textbox for rendering pickup frames.

Known Bugs/Limitations:

None.

1999.10.19 - Converted to macroscript, JB
1999.10.20 - Reports sequence range, JB
2000.02.27 - Fixed a bug for sequences of less than 3 files - JB
2000.04.27 - Made final frames printout aware of "runs" of frames, so if frames
             "1,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,12" are missing, the print out is "1,3-9,10"
