Streamline custom morphs import to overcome missing morphs on pose import.

Hi,

‌

I wanted to know if there could be a way to streamline the import of morphs by querying the animated ones first in DAZ.

‌

I just played a bit with the SDK samples and came up with this basic script (below), it basically checks for morphs with more than one keyframe and prints them in the console with the CSV format (required for FBX exporter of DAZ, that’s how I use it in Houdini), couldn’t this be adapted as a separate Diffeomorphic script that the addon can read and import the morphs from the source morph files?

Line 120 is the asset URL that the DAZ importer would need
