multi-disc importing is broken

[Pr0FiT]

In the previous versions when importing a multi-disc game with a structure such as:

Sony PlayStation 2/Metal Gear Solid 3 - Substance/
	./Metal Gear Solid 3 - Substance (Disc 01).iso
	./Metal Gear Solid 3 - Substance (Disc 02).iso
	./Metal Gear Solid 3 - Substance (Disc 03).iso

 

You would end up with a single LB entry with disc 1 as the "primary" entry and all 3 disc as additional apps, listed in order by disc #, with the title <game name> - Disc x.

Now you end up with 3 separate entries, no additional apps. Running the consolidate function over them results in a single entry with disc 2 as the primary game (in this example anyway), 3 additional apps, listed in order disc 2, 3, 1, and with a title of 'Play (Disc 02) Version...'

This has been a problem at least the last two beta releases, maybe with the previous ones too, not sure.

weird. its happened with at least four games now (which is 100% of the multi disc games I've imported recently) and it reproducible every time.

Strange only thing I can say about my games is almost everything is No Intro and Redump. But as long as they are named properly it should work.

Have you tried running the combining process again after import?  

[Pr0FiT]

Naming is definitely correct; its exactly as listed in my post and the same naming convention I've been using forever. You may have missed it in my original post but I did use the consolidate feature and it did collapse them into a single entry....just not how one would think it would.

This may be an issue specifically with the consolidate games feature, and it's probably in the official release as well, I'm guessing. I don't recall specifically handling multi-disc scenarios for the consolidating, so that makes sense. Also, consolidate was not meant to be used to consolidate discs; it was built to consolidate versions with the assumption that discs would already be consolidated, so I'm guessing that's what's going on. Still worth looking into though; it's on my list.
