I have been faced with this problem some time ago at my application MPDCenter.
I had nearly the same idea but I decided to use "&&" to combine the files that
should be in the same file because I do not expect any filename to contain "&&".
Example:
Model1.ldr
File1.ldr
File2.ldr
Model2.ldr
File1.ldr
File2.ldr
Will be combined into
Model3.ldr
Model1.ldr&&File1.ldr
Model1.ldr&&File2.ldr
Model2.ldr&&File1.ldr
Model2.ldr&&File2.ldr
With this approach you can split the files if needed without problem.
