Adding tags from filename

mrbongal007 · 02-27-2015, 05:28 AM

Hi,

i understand how to import books author title from filename like
author-title.txt

but is it possible to also import tags for that book from its filename. For eg.

author-title-tag1,tag2,tag3.txt where tag1,tag2,tag3 populate the tag field ?

thanks much.

calibre does not check for a "tags" matched group.
