Thank you, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

I was planning to do something like this for a long time. Out of desperation ;-)

I have done some limited hacking in Python, but it is way too little experience to be comfortable with such a large project. I was a project manager for an interesting project a few years ago, and I thought that this would be a good opportunity to do some coding in Python. So I selected Python as a language of choice for Linux server part and for Windows client. Choosing Python was a great thing. The only problem was, that the upper management saw to that that I would ONLY do project management, and coding was left to my more fortunate coworkers ...
I do some maintenance work, because none of those who did the coding are with the company any more, and I thank my $DEITY for inspiration to choose Python every time I have to change something.

I too prefer Regular Expressions based file renaming utility (Krename accessed from Krusader menu) do lots of work before importing files in Calibre, yet, I still find myself clicking into Book Import Preferences dialog way too often.
