Hi, I want to rename batches of pdf and ebook files that are too long in name to be transfered to my ext. hd. Similar to these fellows i think ur solution might work. I have never used Calibre. Mediamonkey has an option in their program to rename files based on filename<>tags to filename in any direction. It is an awesome program and can be done in bulk.

I have no tags for any of the PDF i have downloaded but im looking for the option to rename files in bulk like other programs for media files. Where can I learn to enter the regex and other things u mentioned?
