I tried the Add Book action but it seems to not have the metadata handling part that Calibre has. Is it possible adding it? It could fix the issue I have currently as I need to have metadata handled differently for 2 types of books (2 different folders).

Thanks for your work !
The add action calls calibre Adder, which follows the settings in calibre to decided whether to read metadata from book or from filename.

What you can do, is use the GetFileName plugin, which stores the filename in custom column. With this you can use Action Chains to add the book and apply the metadata from the GetFileName column. Action allows you to use Calibre Template language to write data to column using regex.
