Not sure you understand the problem here. First of all the par will indeed copy all files within a dos directory that are selected. They arrange themselves in alpha – numeric order for the *.ani sequence. In fact, I'm doing just that, right now. The original problem I had was that a sequence of tga's would not copy to the PAR drive converting to *.ani until after I optimized the PAR drive. My comment was that the bug in this case was in the content of the error message that popped up informing me that the file type (*.tga) was not supported or was corrupted. It should have stated that the PAR drive need optimizing to provide the contiguous space to perform the transfer. Since the transfer was being made to a new project directory there were no names to be changed if this were a problem.
