Drag a finished render output into project panel

Ok please make it a little better.

Right now it's a little too smart for its own good.

If the job is finished, it imports the render, if the job is not finished (not rendered yet) it imports an empty place holder - not even checking if the rendered sequence exists or not.

I have a habit of saving files just before hitting render, this way I alway have render jobs set up and ready if I need to rerender a comp at a later time.

Also if you render your project with a background renderer you end up with unchecked jobs, but still unfinished - for the same reason as above, so you can easily render them again.

So currently, even though the jobs have actually been rendered, just because their current state in the project says that they are fresh, when I drag the Output Module of a job to the Project Panel I get an ampty placeholder instead of the rendered sequence that is already on disk.

Please change the drag action to always import the targeted render file from disk. If and ONLY if that file does not exist - import the empty placeholder file.

Oh wow, thanks.

I was dragging by the Output to label or the file path label - didn't think to drag the Output module Label 🙂
