Hi Michael,

The File>Import>Image Sequence dialog says below the "File name
contains" window:
   "enclose egexp in parens"

This means that if you type something enclosed by paretheses, it is
treated as regular expression.
In your case, you could enter "(P1)_". This does not end with
parentheses but an underscore, it will be interpreted as plain text.
Alternatively, create a regexp that fits your file names, and enclose it
in parentheses. I guess that the following might work:
(.*\(P1\).*)
