Attempted to call reimport_files() recursively

[larimaza]

Working with Dialogue Manager, I've been occasionally getting the message "Attempted to call reimport_files() recursively" for a while, but had ignored it so far.
Now that I have more dialogue files, Godot has been freezing every time I save any changes to dialogue files and taking a long time to respond because it's reimporting assets.
On the console, I get both errors:

"ERROR: Attempted to call reimport_files() recursively, this is not allowed"
and
"ERROR: Scene saved while already being saved!"

I tried to troubleshoot but couldn't find anything related to compiler settings or to file watching interval. Am I missing some setting or is this still a recursive import bug?

• Dialogue Manager version: 3.7.1
• Godot version: 4.4.1

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a project with 20+ dialogue files, each referencing the next one
2. Edit a dialogue line in the Dialogue tab in Godot and save
3. Godot should freeze while showing the window "(Re)importing files" and show the console errors
4. Godot should un-freeze after several minutes

Workaround: By reducing the number of files and making them larger, this problem can be mitigated. I guess I couldn't understand from the docs whether the tool was made for use with very large, few files - it seemed like a more scalable, easier solution to have several smaller files at the time I was building it.

I have both a lot of files and large files for dialogue in my game but I generally only have a few shared dialogue files that get imported around (and never several layers deep). Under those conditions I've never had an error or pause when saving.

I will be looking at a better way to handle imported files but I'm entirely sure when just yet.
