I "Added" about 7000 books to an empty library as the first thing I did. Result - about 40% garbage!
I had hundreds of books titled "Prologue", hundreds of books by "harry", hundreds of books titled "Chapter 1" and "1", hundreds books with title appended with " by author" (hence this thread) and "Unknown" author, thousands of books with authors with names like "." "-" "--" "111111" "-----------------" and every combination of garbage. Funny thing is that I would have done much better using file names.
I just threw it away and started again which is where I am at the moment.
Not being in a position to edit the contents of "pdf" "rtf" "mobi" "epub" etc files leaves me with file names. I use a batch renamer with simple regex. The files are in a good structure which is why I am interested in "Adding" structured files.
I suspected, and it has been confirmed, that regexs can't use directory sttructures so file names are all I have
Nice talking to you. It is good to know that I not the only one
