Looking for an extension, or...

Question

I'm looking for an extension, but if there isn't one that does what I need, then prehaps somebody would have an alternate method to accomplish what I need...
I create Sprite Based animations.  I have an animation I'm working on that has 5 characters in it, and each character has something like 100-150 individual sprites (PNG images)  that make up their actions and movements.  (such as walk_step_1_no_weapon.png, walk_step_2_no_weapon.png, walk_step_1_with_weapon.png, walk_step_2_with_weapon.png, etc...)  However, importing all these, tracing them, creating a new symbol, then deleting the original image individually is a painfully teduious and time consuming task.
I'd like some way I can import 100 (or any number within reason) images, and on each one of them trace it, create a new symbol from the trace output, name it, and then delete the original PNG image.  I'd also like to import them into specific folder structures within the symbol library.
Does anyone know of an extension that can do this?  If not, does anyone know of a way to actually do this?

Answer 1

It's apparent that there is no extension that provides this functionality, nor can I find a better alternative. So because of that, perhpas I should look into making my own extension, but have no idea how to go about creating an extension.  Is there documentation somewhere on what it takes to create an extension?  Can I create one using C# and .NET?
