[Feature Request] Parse files with date as filename or given filelist

[corgan2222]

Im using your Sequencer to show Timelapse images of different construction yards. demo

it would be great if the Sequencer could use files with the date as filename, because i cant change the filenames coming from the camera.

atm i have to copy each image into a file with the actual counter +1, wich takes a massiv amount of space over time. (1,2tb atm)

the files from camera are saved as imageyyyy-mm-dd_hh-mm-ss.jpg and saved in folders with the date as foldername yyyy_mm_dd

like

• 2020_50_28

1. image20-05-28_20-21-01.jpg
2. image20-05-28_20-20-01.jpg
3. image20-05-28_20-19-01.jpg

as alternative could be used a given filelist, with each path/image as entry.

It's probably too difficult to write a generic parser for these situations because it will only work if the intervals are regular… I'm planning to remove the 'from' and 'to' fields and will add a a more generic 'list' in the parameters. The filename parser is already an external module and can be used to generate the lists with the usual two from / to fields but the list can also be passed by hand or with an alternative / custom method (like in your case). Next release should implement this!

I just added the "list" parameter plus an example. Let me know if this works for you.
