you will need to build the binaries with UE4.

The definition of ‘highest’ is probably not a very consistent concept among users. Studio pipelines generally use a database for this sort of thing.

It sounds like you want a script to look at the path and parse out a version number and then glob for files that are in the same folder, grabbing the highest found. The typical way is with python in a shelf script, but it can also be put into module used by a button's callback that is added to the permanent defaults for the read nodes.

Thanks. I was digging in the topic after reading a post on facebook, someone had issues overwriting Alembics when they are in use in Houdini forcing him to restart Houdini each time the ABC had to be updated. I personally always increment geo files so i never experienced that issue. But i do have to go into the geo nodes and update the new Alembic/Obj/Fbx each time which can indeed be a bit time consuming with lots of assets. So i was hoping there would be a little line i could drop in there. “$JOB/geo/geo.version`latest`.abc” and then have a button somewhere to reload all or only selected assets.

Thanks for your time and insights. Appreciated.

Hey, this example works great if the grid only has 1 primitive because you're specifying prim 0 in cops. I can't wrap my head around how to make this work for a more complex geometry with multiple primitives. Any idea?
