Question - IDE The "_stripX.png" suffix no longer works, is there an alternative?

If you didn't already know in Game maker 1.4, if you import a sprite with a file name ending in "_stripX.png" X being the number of frames it will auto seperate the sprite into frames.

This is not the case in Game Maker Studio 2, is there an alternative way to quickly import a strip?

This little feature saves me loads of time, I kinda NEED this.

Update: I found the "Create from Strip" option equivalent which is now called "Import Stip image" which has the same setup options. This method is faster than importing individual frames but not nearly as fast as the "_strip8.png" method that is now missing in GMS2.

I'm sure it will be added at some point, a lot of image editor features are missing right now, so this post can serve just to remind Yoyo ;)
