importing from mixed-games files and multi-table files

Does PT Stud have trouble importing hand histories from files for mixed games? Or for "messy" multi-table hand history files, where hand histories from various games and stakes are all mixed together? (If you request hand histories from a poker site, you may receive this sort of "messy" file.)
I encountered problems importing to PT3 in both cases. The files were imported, but the data was screwed up. For example, the stats in the General tab didn't match the stats in the Details tab. I think PT3 had trouble keeping track of sessions when the hands in one file jumped from table to table.

I can't speak for how PT3 handles mixed games, but PTS doesn't handle mixed games perfectly because when the PT2 programs were developed no online poker sites spread any kind of mixed game so PTS wasn't designed to handle them. The individual games should import fine, but the session might say Stud Hi/Lo but have Stud Hi and Razz games in the session stats. I hope to correct this someday but it probably won't be any time soon and may require a rewrite of the program.
