Despite the tone of the original post that seems to have destabilized the audience, this is a real legitimate problem not to take too lightly dear gentlemen!
stuatk But, know that: if you are on Windows and now with first C3 desktop beta builds, you can (and indeed could already do it with C2), automate some things via NW.js object and other tricks to avoid you precisely this type of very repetitive tedious constraints.
That said, you will be quickly limited when it comes to loading complete animations (a 
rexrainbow C2 plugin allows -in part- to remedy this).
This method is especially true for one shot sprites, tilemaps, and any other assets up to the data. There are infinite hack possibilities.
The other good news is that with C3, all these points are likely to improve over time!
