Really? That depends on how many books you have to rename. Once you are sure about the procedure, you can rename all the books at once, provided that the series information is correct.

But as I said before, make a backup and test it first to make sure you don't experience data loss. I haven't tried it. But it should work. The hard work is to create the template for saving the books, and for reading the metadata back from the filename. The rest is done by Calibre.

I am not sure how the books will merge if ISBN is identical, but the title differ. But that will be obvious once you test it.
