Thank you. I did miss that functionionality.

I just tested it. It works for me. What's your regex?
?-? ?\[(.*?)\] ?-? ?

The add books sometimes causes the author to be authorname - [series name], and so I use this to strip out the series from author and move it to series. But if the series is something like - [Hawk & Fisher], it fails to match and move it.

Uncheck the the option "Overwrite author and title ..." from the Fetch metadata screen. I added that option because I hated losing good author/title data. If you need to change one. Cut it, which will hold it on your clipboard. If you need to change both, temporarily paste them into the comments field.
That's good for editing one at a time. My concern was when downloading metadata in bulk for a number of files, not knowing what it overwrote and what it didn't.

Thanks for the info.
