When elements are being drag&dropped outside of das element into another software, some applications, like Autodesk Flame, require a custom file path notation for dropped file sequences.

default/fallback: folder
This will choose the parent folder of the elements main files: /some/folder

List of all file paths for each frame of the sequence:
/some/folder/files.1001.exr, /some/folder/files.1002.exr, ...

Hashtag notation: hashtag
/some/folder/files.####.exr

Hashtag notation: hashtag_frames - works for Nuke
/some/folder/files.####.exr 1001-1002

Printf percentage notation: percent
/some/folder/files.%04d.exr

Autodesk Flame
Flame requires this notation for file sequences
/some/folder/files.[1001-1002].exr
If a process is running with the name 'flame' the software will automatically choose this notation.
