I've realized that while some comic book reading programs open up cbz/cbr files fine, EVEN when they are misnamed (a cbz file is identified as a cbr file), some do not.

While I'd ideally find a program that would automatically rename them depending on the type of file they actually are, I've not had much luck.

That being said (and here's where Calibre comes in)....

When I find a file that is misnamed, I cannot just rename it within calibre or even in the folder in which it is stored.

I have to:

1) go to the storage folder.
2) move the file somewhere else
3) rename the file
4) edit the title in calibre
5) drag the new file in

When I have a whole series that is mislabeled, this is arduous and painful (though the situation is no-fault of calibre).

Any other ways to do this that are quicker/easier?
