This thread is about the "How to import this model" auto-generated page below every model file.
Every external texture the model uses will have all the data generated correctly (thanks for fixing that) but the images generated are not applicable to the 1.32 World Editor. This has already confused people as they expected to see the old, 1.26-era, popup to change the file path, instead of having to click precisely on the "File Name" and getting to edit the path directly.
As both new and returning modders are likely to get confused by this, I recommend changing the autogenerated images to reflect the current situation.
Depending on how far you want to go to support the old versions, you could expect the popup that results from the same actions to be viewed as equivalent or you could supply a second link that will have the instructions (in the form of a Hive tutorial) on how to import in old versions.
