Hi,

I'm trying out this great tip here regarding comparing sequences with MPlay:
https://tokeru.com/cgwiki/index.php?title=HoudiniUserInterfaceTips#mplay_for_comparing_sequences [tokeru.com]

But.. it doesn't work for me.
When I highlight a different viewport and click 'Open Sequence', all the viewports get the newly selected sequence loaded.

Tried turning off 'Apply changes to all views', and tried in H18 mplay and H18.5 mplay.
I'm on macOS (Catalina).

Hope someone can help, i'd like this feature.
Thanks,

So, anyone else experiencing it like this?

I made a short screen recording:

I noticed the 'options' down below when right-clicking on a viewer,

I assume there could be multple sequences there to choose from?

However also one option remains there, and when I replace one viewer with a sequence all the other loaded viewers will be replaced by that chosen sequence as the only option.

What can I try? In the meantime I'll contact SideFX, cause I suspect this to be a bug indeed.
