I don't think you understood my comment. The checkbox you are referring to selects between internal metadata (stored in the ebook) and filename-based metadata (metadata created from the filename and your regex). However, that selection doesn't matter in certain circumstances. One of those circumstances is when you choose "Add books from directories, one book per directory" and a matching .opf file exists.
If you choose that option and an .opf file exists, the metadata in filename or internally stored is overridden by the contents of the .opf file. (IIRC, it's actually a bit weird, as the metadata from filename/internal is used to warn you about duplicates, while the opf metadata is what is actually used). I don't believe the .opf override applies to drag/drop book adds.

and "Option 2" is exactly the option where the opf override applies. That's why I asked if he had .opf files. It seemed likely, as the OP also said:

and saving to disk will create opf files by default.
