Sorry, no, it is more a tool for normal windows users and those don't need that feature very often ;-)
Because of that, I normally had each sequence in it's own folder...
But with XSI not having something like .rpf or layered .psd like lightwave, I start to have the same issue, since it is annoying to have that many folders for each pass... :-(
But maybe you can use the XSI file dialogue and drag and drop the sequences to fusion?
...Replace explorer.exe as default windows surface with xsi.exe ;-) >LOL<
Best regards and a good 2006 to everyone.
Cheers,

Fusion and if there's one thing that drives me completely up the wall it's
sifting through thousands of files every time I want to find a clip to
import.

I also happen to not like the XSI file browser. :-)
I use FileEx (http://www.cottonwoodsw.com/) on Windows for
years now, and it gives you a large file window, all the
windows functionality, predefinable sorting (I use "by date"
with new files on top), default to detail view, "Open in last
folder used" (by app or dialogue), and four dropdowns at the
bottom with recent files and recent folders used - as well
for the current app as for all apps - and two favourite dropdowns too.
The XSI dialogue may be better as the default windows one,
but since you are forced to use it, you have no choise to use
other tools either. I miss a lot of the right-click tools...
I also miss the directory dropdown from the default windows
dialogue and network access is a pain for me in XSI, since it
doesn't show the network places shortcuts I use in every
other software...
I don't think the XSI file dialogue should be removed, but
made an option.
Just my two cents,
Cheers,
Thomas Helzle
