When Hero mode is OFF : artists can just load the product, no problem, they get the latest version.
When Hero mode is ON : in the Loader, the default version that is selected is the latest version, and not the Hero version :
Problem : if artists want to import a Hero, they need to manually select the [v] for each product they load (which can mean 4 or 5 textures, in the case of published Substance).
Is there a way to force the Hero to be on the first position of this list ?
I’m able to reproduce.
While sorting the version list to keep the hero version on top makes sense, I wonder if using scene invetory actions Change to tero and update to latest works for you?
I can’ test Change to Hero right now, but I successfully tested Update to latest.
Loading v09, and immediately Change to Hero [v07] would not be nice at all 
The idea of having the default parameter to be the most useful in a given setting (for example the Hero), is the best way to avoid user errors, as we can ask that user to not touch anything 
I think having a studio toggle to allow loader to default to hero versions over other versions may make sense. I for one wouldn’t use it, but I can see it make sense to those that make heavy use of hero versions.
Thanks.
