Importing multiple P2 volumes into Final Cut at once

Is there a trick to import multiple P2 volumes into Final Cut without having to select a volume each time.

I have quite a few P2 cards offloaded on a hard drive and it would be nice to just select the parent folder containg all the volumes. But that doesn't seem to work.

Any help would be appreciated.
 
Don't think it can be done...

Like David I've always done it one volume at a time. Personally I would also love the ability to do so, such that clips that were shot across 2 cards could then be made into 1 solid clip rather than 2 separate clips (1 clip from card 1 and 1 clip from card 2). But you would need to be able to scan the multiple volumes at once to do that, which it doesn't seem FCP will do.

cheers.
 
I noticed that there is a "Use single folder" feature in the P2 Genie software that will offload everything to one volume. However it's not implemented in the mac version yet. Bummer.
 
The FCP team at NAB 2006 said they are working hard to make Final Cut scriptable, but can't promise it for the next release. Then we can write an Automator/Action/Script whatever to do multiple ingest. Hm. Multiple ingest. Mushrooms, onions, pepperoni...
