Expected Behavior

Importer finds the scene.

Current Behavior

Importer does not find the scene.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Scene Collection → Import
    *Select "Yes" when prompted for automatic search.
    (If you forgot to press "Yes" you need to change the importer settings in Settings → General.)
  2. XSplit scenes are not found in the scene collection importer.
Anything else we should know?

I'm using translation. Sorry if the English is not correct.

I'm writing a blog post about importing scene collections and noticed that when I updated the image (Dark -> Yami) the XSplit scene was not retrieved.

Research direction

Start with frontend/importers/xsplit.cpp and compare the existing automatic-search location with the current XSplit path reported in the issue. Verify the importer can find an XSplit scene under the current Windows installation path, then confirm Scene Collection → Import discovers it when automatic search is enabled.
