Fountain script with existing scene numbers is not loaded correctly #1652

Hey, when I import a fountain script with more than three scenes, storyboarder behaves weird. For example the first and the fourth scene use the same picture base. Not every scene gets it's own folder. I don't recognize the pattern. I think it's random which scene is created correct and which is not.

Can you send us a copy of the fountain file?

Looks like Storyboarder is getting confused by the scene numbers in the scene headings, e.g.: EXT. Werkstatt / Hof - Dämmerung #24-07# where the scene number is #24-07#.

Which Fountain editor do you use? Does it add these scene numbers automatically?

As a workaround, if you remove all the scene numbers from your Fountain script before importing, Storyboarder will write its own scene IDs, and the project will be created properly.

I created the fountain file from an InDesign Document, with a simple text parser in Java... I used the fountain documentation as a reference, to write the parser. The scene numbers are essential in this script, because the story is in different time layers.
