Option to choose frame rate on "Import Footage" dialogue

Can we have an option to choose the frame-rate of frame sequences on import? It can be a bit of faff to go through a load of frame sequences in the project window and individually adjust frame rates via "Interpret Footage". Thank you!

Yes that's how I've always done it in the past - just set it in preferences
and left it at that. But these days I seem to be working with different
frame rates more often. One project will be 25fps, the next will be 30fps,
and then there'll be a 60fps project. It's a pain to have to keep
remembering to change the default in preferences every time I jump between
one project file to the next, and it's a faff having to dig into the
interpret footage window for every individual item. So to have the option
available on import would be a real time saver for me.

Another possible alternative might be a way to batch change the frame rates
multiple frame sequences at once in the project window.

Not sure if it's really needed. You can set a preference for the default frame rate and you can set the footage interpretation and copy & paste that setting. How many different framerates do people even mix in a project, especially with 3D rendered image sequences, timelapses or similar stuff? I rarely ever do and I can't imagine a scenario where you would require such an extra feature. If I have a bunch of slo-mo clips in a regular project it's easy enough to handle.
