Editing after adding is also much much more work IMO.

So I think I'm stuck with playing with the file names.

I just use whatever regex is in the standard setup.

From my reading I couldn't see any way to use the directory structure in regex either.

You can use a batch renamer to replace by in all the names to - then once the title and author are separated by - in the filename you can easily import them into calibre with correct regex
