“when the number of computers running Linux and nothing else surpasses the number of computers on the Mac operating system, Adobe will probably pay attention.”

Well, now we’re getting into a chicken or the egg type argument. Given that an after effects-like program is the only thing missing from the linux world (don’t talk to me about jahshaka, those clowns are still a LONG way off anything usable), if adobe were to port it, I predict that the penguin would suddenly start appearing on a lot more desktops. “Build it and they wil come” as they say.

Hopefully one day they will reconsider only offering their products to customers of the Microsoft and Apple corporations.

Personally, for my home projects, I’ve gotten into inkscape, gimp and especially blender (which as well as being a powerful 3D tool, has a pretty good node based compositor) and given up on Adobe until they decide to port to a REAL OS.

At work I still use AE on Windows, dreaming of the day Adobe come to their senses…

“create a script, that looks in the folder you imported from, and then creates an invisible text-layer with every filename on a different line.”

Ummm, having a little trouble creating a script that can list the files in a directory. This is now the key to solving the problem. If I can list the nth file in a directory, I’d be there. How’s this done?

Thanks for everyone’s help.

I’m on my way now. Basically I’m trying to create a clock that that is fairly accurate to some timelapse footage. The footage is an image sequence with the time and date of each frame as part of the frame name.
For the graphics I’m generating, the footage is always being time stretched (rarely remapped) and edited, so the inpoint is always different.

Bit of a challenge, but I think it might be possible…

Thanks again…

Yep, that’s a good start, however…
…it only delivers me the name of the sequence, not the name of the actual file displayed on the current frame.

The search continues…
