[Avid-L2] Re: new FAST Canon import tool

I realize you don't want a dialog box -- and agree -- but John's ideas of either:

1. A prompt that is automatically "populated" with the date -- and that can be just "entered" through -- or changed...

2. Or the Preference ideo that either displays -- or does not display a reel selection dialog box...

Seem like they could work.
