Names of files
I have books which have the following naming convention (converted from file names):
author_name, Title, Series, Series_number Title, author_name (no series) author_name, Title, Series (no seriesnumber} Is there a way to convert them all to the similar name files using Calibre? I tried with regex but it did not work for me. My preferred sequence is author_name- Title - [, Series - Series_number] [ ] where they exist. I have tried to look if this type of question has been answered on the forum. If so, I am sorry to ask again. Thank you. |

Or are the books already in calibre and you're trying to export them with the given format? Or are the books in calibre with those funky names and you're trying to somehow bulk correct the titles? |

There is no way to bulk convert titles in calibre. The way to correct this would have been while adding the books. Using the Read metadata only from file name feature under Preferences - Add/Save and setting the regex for import.
