Before, trying to add multiple strips would always create an image sequence. This patch allows images to be added in bulk, just like movie & sound strips. A new "Image Sequence Detection" property has been added which works like the image editor. Toggling it off will always import individual images and never create image sequences. If it's on, you can also optionally "Use Placeholders" to fill in gaps, which exhibits the same behavior as before (placeholders will show as pink in the preview until you have the files on your system in the right folders). You can even add both image sequences and regular images at the same time. Only caveat is that this doesn't work if the regular images are interspersed within sequence frames in the file browser view when you add them. I.e., all frames of a sequence should be listed without any regular frames in between (but the sequence frame numbers don't have to be in order). This can usually be ensured on all sort types (like date, name). NOTE: This patch also replaces the "end_frame" property on image / effect strips with "length," to support behavior when multiple strips are involved. This is a breaking change for the API, but is a fairly small change and will be included in the release notes. The "length" property allows one to adjust all image strips' lengths at once. It does nothing for image sequences, however, since their lengths are defined by their image count. Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/143974
