I see that in 2012 it was suggested the best way to import a sequence
of images @ one frame per image is :
Import into Quick time and make a movie.
I cant see how to do it directly to the timeline,
so is this still the best/only way - using quicktime?

You can put all the stills into the time lines. Select them all. Press Control-D and type 1 to make them one frame.
The preference in FCP is a selection preference not an import preference so you have to change the duration in the timeline.
Another way is to use Compressor to create the image sequence. This gives to a single video file and many more options for formats and codecs.

Thankyou both for the quick useful answers
You can still create a movie from an image sequence with the current Quicktime Player.
Motion is another alternative.
It is worth pointing out that it is easier for FCP to deal with a video than a lot of stills.
Quicktime works, was easy and very fast with 250 4k images, outputting prores.
