Load multiple image sequences at the same time?

Is it possible to load multiple image sequences at once? I tried two things so far..

1) "Create Bin from Directory" script, and then drag the sequences into the comp but it loaded each file into the bin , rather than the sequence as one.

2) Drag and drop entire contents of folder in hopes it would recognize that there were sequences and automatically put each sequence into its own loader. Instead it tried to make 30,000 loaders.

Any other recommendations or ideas on how to do this faster than loading them into a loader one at a time?

If each sequence was in it's own folder, it would work just fine to drag all the folders in.

If you want to keep them in the same folder, drag one file from each sequence in.

got a comp - python script for that.

### Modifiy your colorranges for the loaders here ...
colordict = {"Default":{'B': 1.0, 'R': 1.0, '__flags': 256, 'G': 1.0},

Thanks guys! Both of these methods worked perfectly. Appreciate it.

if u got problems with the script on Linux or Mac, u need to delete the first line:

# -*- coding: cp1252 -*-

(it is not a comment)

I finally got here. Thanks for sharing this script.

I had to remove the first line on Windows and it works fine.
