Importing Files
1) Once you specify a directory it will only prompt you to import files with allowed extensions that are readable
2) The filename for a file will be either the name specified for that individual file, the name specified for files that do not have a name specified, or the filename - the extension
3) The author will be the author specified for that individual file or the author specified for files that do not have an author specified.
4) File description, category, and pinned follow the same rule as author.
5) Only files with valid categories that are checked for import can be imported. If you specify a master category for those files that do not have a category specified, then files without valid categories assigned will be assigned to the master category.
