I think you should return this bug to valid. It's a design bug. No
"ordinary user" should know how to use printf format strings. I think
you should consider a better approach to image sequence numbering. Take
a look at how Irfanview, a little image viewer for Windows with batch
capabilities, does it. Just as an example.

I'm posting here because a friend of mine asked what was wrong with his
format string. It's very obvious your error message didn't help at all
and even coming here to read this bug did not help (your reply does not
explain to the ordinary people how the format string works...).

Bug description:
Hi,

I'm finding that the image sequence import doesn't correctly determine the files I'm looking for. Weirdly it misses the first 10!

I have files such as Tree000.png through to Tree100.png (101 frames).  But when I try to import is just says you need at least 2 images - doesn't matter if I  use %d or %05d. It does, however ,work if I add a 0 in when trying to import (Tree0%d.png) but then misses the first 10 images.

Werid one I know!

I'm on Ubuntu 8.04, used the DEB, and I'm in openshot v1.0

Cheers in advance for your help!

Mike
