I finished now, importing 3000 csv Files - and I want to give feedback.
I know that the function, I used was not made for this, but I read in this forum, some users had the same problem with importing big collections
So, perhaps, you can think about some improvements in the csv import dialog & filemanger:
My workaround was:
See above, I hade an xls, where I had for each Song a line with the metadata, having a numbered pdf for each song, like A01234.pdf
I wrote a c# program to resort the fields and creat a csv for each song
Import by csv-import, sort by date upside down, to have the newest files on top, which was all new automatically created csv
After imported 20 files, I deleted those csv and start again
Saved a lot of time

So, perhaps, you can think about some improvements in the csv import dialog & filemanger:
- A filter option to display only csv or pdf-files
- An option to delete the csv-file, when the import was successful
- Not to switch back automatically to the library view will give them the posibility to import the next csv instantly
