Problems exporting a dsq of "root" or "idle" actions

I don't know if it is just me but I'd be really happy to hear if other people are getting this problem.

I try and export an action named "root" to a DSQ and it will not export. Same goes for "idle". If I change the name to "basic" then it all exports fine.

I assume root and idle are reserved in some way? Has anyone else found this issue.

It isn't a big problem, just means I have to use player.cs to like player_basic.dsq to root or idle.

I'm happily exporting the root anim.

Perhaps the case matters? I'm not sure. Mine is called "Root", not "root".

There really shouldn't be anything special about "basic" in the exporter - there's no code that looks for that name.

Thanks.

Yeah I couldn't think why it would stall at exporting root but it works when all I do is change the name.

Weird stuff, more of an annoyance than an issue.
