What exactly is set to read metadata from filename? The sony doesn't have that option.

it's not even metadata, really, these are txt files i am having issues with. for example: i have a txt file that is labeled anne bishop - jewels 00 - the invisible ring. it shows up properly in calibre, in the sony library, but it shows up as ---------------------- on my reader. i just want it to show up as titled.
it used to show up just fine, before i updated calibre this past time.

I confess to confusion. What does 'labeled' mean? Are you referring to a file name? If so, is that the name of the file on your Sony, or somewhere else?
If I understand you correctly, you have at least one txt file on your reader for which the reader displays ------------------ as the title. There isn't any obvious reason why that should happen, tweaks or otherwise, and (obviously) I can't see your reader, so to fix it you must do the typing.
Question 0: what version of calibre are you running? On what O/S & version?
Question 1: you haven't changed firmware? To use, for example, PRS+?
Question 2: what is the full path name *on the sony* for one of these txt files?
Question 3: what does the sony's database entry for the file look like? To check this, and assuming you are running windows, open the file database/cache/media.xml found on your sony's main memory. Use wordpad. Don't save the file back.
Question 4: does this happen to all txt files? And only txt files?
