Importing Media Files- How to make 1 movie from 2 parts.

I'm importing hundreds of media files from a drive that is divided into movie folders. A folder named "Movie1 (2010)" might contain two avi files "Movie1 (2010)part1" and "Movie1 (2010)part2". The default ANT import will create two separate movies. How can I set things so that the import only creates one movie in the database? Thanks.

I guess the "disk tag" field of the import window is made for that.
From what I understand (as it is Soulsnake who added that feature) if you set it to .* (last value of the suggested samples) it will merge all the files found in a folder.

Hi,

You can set this value if the "disk tag" is "part" :
(part)[0-9]{1,3}
You can also set a more complete list of "disk tags" to include "cd" and "dvd" for example :
(cd|dvd|part)[0-9]{1,3}
