Description

Hi, really liking the plugin. I have a list of films.

I want to import in bulk, but i don't understand the part about csv

"Bulk Import

The plugin allows you to import your preexisting media collection and upgrade them to Media DB entries.
Prerequisites
The preexisting media notes must be inside a folder in your vault. For the plugin to be able to query them they need one metadata field that is used as the title the piece of media is searched by. This can be achieved by for example using a csv import plugin to import an existing list from outside of obsidian."

Could anyone please explain exactly how this is done?

Research direction

Start with the documentation containing the “Bulk Import” and “Prerequisites” sections quoted in the issue, then trace how the plugin expects notes, folders, and a title metadata field to be prepared. Done means the documentation clearly explains the CSV-import workflow and how users can turn an existing film list into notes that bulk import can process.
