I have many books that I just imported from my filesystem into Calibre with a prefix in the title that I would like to eliminate. For instance, I have about 60 books whose titles begin with "Manual - ". Is there a way to search and replace this string?

As a workaround I could simple rename all the PDF files with Krename and then reimprt them into Calibre. But if there is a way to do the procedure within Calibre I would prefer that.

I looked in Edit Metadata but I don't see anything that would help.

Thanks.
