@louwin - you have repeatedly ignored everything which we have posted in response to your query.

As has been said multiple times you can have calibre import your titles in the way you want - by changing your regular expression. If you are importing titles under different naming conventions, you can use a plugin like Quick Preferences to quickly change between regex expressions before adding each batch of books.

And to perhaps make it more blunt, a naming convention of "Title by Author" is an *idiotic* file naming convention to use, with numerous examples given in this thread of titles which show why. Since Kovid agrees with my thoughts on this, it just is not going to happen - it is a *minor* edge case that is not worthy of consideration because of all the cases where workarounds would fall over, causing more confusion and pain to everyone else.
