Thanks Lee for the Import Model system.

Just one request. When importing many models for a pack the constant resetting of the system back to the main entity folder so once again one has to go through the directories to get the model then go through them again to put back in the directory of choice is a bit of a pain.

As an example my latest pack has over 60 models in the Purchased directory. The time increase because of this directory flipping is rather a lot.

Just one of the many reasons I don't use the importer, all my models get manually added to gameguru, its far less time consuming.

Perhaps make a folder in the default you can save into for now? Then copy them over once imported.

Thanks DVader. Trouble is the system always returns to the User folder when you go to save entity. Still a sub folder in that would be quicker than trolling thro the directories to the ones in Purchased.

Cheers.

Yeah I know, I have used the importer a lot, I know how annoying it can be when working on several objects. I'd copy the exact folder structure you have been using into the user directory, then once you have finished copy to the preferred location in purchased. I must admit to being very fast at getting from the user folder to my custom folder now, just hit the button to move back through the folder, then press the c key then open the folder... Still can be a pain as I normally have to find other folders from there. It would be nice to have it default at the last opened directory or to be able to set it of course.

Also, perhaps a shortcut link to your directory would be faster? Just make one from the user folder that takes you straight to the purchased one or even to your pack's own unique folder.

That's exactly what I do, I've put several links to various directories in the user folder. It's far easier that way.
