Works like a charm! Thank you for sharing)) PS: this one definitely must be added to blender by default:))) ---

Install the .py like addon, then enable it, then you can see Import Multiple OBJ option from File. Very cool IO. ---

Hey @Mephist0 , thanks for the addon, quite useful! I just wanted to ask is it possible to implement importing multiple obj files that are in seperate folders? I’ve a case that all the obj files are in their individual folders and sharing a global textures folder (Seems like it’s currently not possible to import multiple objs in such case). ![image](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/7/5/d/75dfdac57772ef5cc7950ac39724108f97605542.png) ---

Hi guys! just to let you know, I updated the **original add-on** for the latest blender versions ( **Blender 2.8+ and 2.92+** ) a while ago in my post here: # → [How to batch import Wavefront OBJ files?](https://blender.stackexchange.com/a/31825) @Mephist0 The version you built on top of, has been updated as well. Please feel free to contribute here: [https://gist.github.com/p2or/af5bc4fae39b16f8d505](https://gist.github.com/p2or/af5bc4fae39b16f8d505) If you’d prefer a repository to contribute, just let me know. Cheers, Christian ---

I attempted to use the add-on with Blender 2.92 and received an error message. Based on the error message I did a little Googling and learned that there was a Blender Load a Wavefront OBJ File API change at some point. To get this add-on to work change line 198 from: global\_clight\_size = self.clamp\_size\_setting) to: global\_clamp\_size = self.clamp\_size\_setting) I do not code, script or really understand how to use GitHub so was not going to begin to tinker with the add-on there. Hopefully someone with more skills can update the add-on there for everyone else who might be using it with Blender 2.92. ---

@poor many thanks for update! Please note that there is a small mistake in the script respect to version 2.8x: filter\_glob = StringProperty(default="\*.obj", options={‘HIDDEN’}, ) should be: filter\_glob: StringProperty(default="\*.obj", options={‘HIDDEN’}, ) (replace the symbol " = " with " : ") In this way, the browser will show only the \*.obj file and NOT the \*.mtl ones. Finally, it would be be very useful to get a link to download this add-on. Thanks again! ---

Hi @Cispica, thanks. Not a “mistake” at all, since the default obj importer lists the mtl files well. However, we can discuss about that of course… but I personally don’t think this is the right place to talk about technical details like that. Created a gist for the 2.8 version: [https://gist.github.com/p2or/a18df7e77d518d0a1a0a411c985a51bc](https://gist.github.com/p2or/a18df7e77d518d0a1a0a411c985a51bc) Feel free to contribute, makes it easy to download as well. If you’re interessted: the “= symbol” is called _assignment operator_ and as far as I can remember: annotations (the other symbol) were not fully implemented for derived classes at that time of 2.80 so I guess your change wouldn’t work for versions pre Blender 2.82.
