Import from TXT file

i tried to import a list created with a
dir/b>movies.txt
that had, as result a list like:
Il marito della parrucchiera [DvdRip ITA (Ogg)].avi
Il Mistero Dei Templari [DvdRip ITA] CD1.avi
Il Sorpasso [DVDRip ITA].avi
Il.Vecchio.Che.Leggeva.Romanzi.D'amore.[Bic].Avi
Jagoda Fragole Al Supermarket [DVDRip ITA - BW].avi
John Q [DvdRip ITA].avi


then i tried to import it with CSV (txt) function
AMC shows all titles, i say that they are TranslatedTitles but
AMC create a database with only empty fields.
so...
1) i think something goes wrong with txt importing
and
2) Is there a way to import all titles available in a pc's subdir without having to AddNew + ImportFromFile repeated for each file?

Works fine for me.
Either you selected "Formatted Title" instead of "Translated Title" (by the way, I should remove the formatted title from this list since it cannot be written); either you did something else wrong :p

YOU'R MAGIC....
i was continuing trying this feature with failures, now i've read yor reply and now it works.
but....
if instead of txt there is a formatted csv where txt-field are inside "" the title is imported like "Movie-Name" instead of MovieName.
but now it's a detail.

thank you very much

The CSV of AMC is not really standard since it does not support quote characters. I really should improve it, and add support for tab-delimited and fixed-width columns. This will be for version 3.5.1
