Heh, that's a bit frustrating. Never noticed that one before. I tried
creating "first" and "last" int knobs on a NoOp along with the File_Knob,
thinking it might populate those "magic" knobs like on a Read, but it
doesn't. The frame range seems lost when the panel closes. There seems to
be no other way to access that frame range, no obvious method on the
File_Knob. If I were you, I'd mail support with a feature request. In the
meantime, your workaround is the way to go. -E
