Not really, Barmed... but like.. I was installing a bunch of old BBS/Shareware/Etc CD-Roms from back in the day, and a lot of the ZIP files didn't have FILE_ID.DIZ for Mystic to automagically import the descriptions... in that case, a lot of old collections used 00INDEX files or FILES.BBS or... a few other formats; these are text files with a big list of all the files in a directory; and you can setup Mystic's mutil tool to import that file and give all the files you added a description.

There is info about doing so on the Mystic Wiki... its sometimes a b**ch to setup, but the option IS there if you're adding TONS of stuff.

Really, I add files kinda in a way that ISN'T automatic... but feels right to me. I get in the zone and go on robot mode, the keypresses become a routine and... I should probably figure out smarter ways to import stuff. BUT it works for me. :P
