Importing multiple AIA files from Chromeleon to Chemstation

Hi all, I am new to the forums and also relatively new to Chemstation, so I hope I am not asking too silly of a question...!

I recently processed some samples in a lab I was visiting that used Chromeleon and was able to export the data as AIA/.cdf files to use with my lab's computer which has Chemstation installed. However in Chemstation I seem to only be able to import one file at a time. Importing a second file appears to remove the first file so I can only load one at a time or overlay, but cannot scroll through the files like I could with Chromeleon. So now I am importing/integrating file by file and it is terribly slow (not to mention after export, all of the files are now named ####.cdf so one has to guess/memorize which file contains the data one wants).

Does anyone have experience with importing multiple .cdf files into Chemstation and interacting with them in an efficient way? I'd be eternally grateful. And happy holidays everyone!

If this is the MS Chemstation, look at the "msf_aia.txt" file in the C:\MSDChem\msexe folder, it may shed some light on this messy utility.
