ok, i've been searching for threads on this sort of thing for hours, to no avail. i found some interesting info here:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...34963&langid=2

about how 'in device' is calculated, but no solution for my problem.

Is there any way to somehow 'tweak' the way Calibre name matching works? For example, I know my series will be

SERIESNAME [number] - TITLE

So it would be great to be able to instruct Calibre to ignore the regular expression for everything up to "] - " when doing name matching from library to device. (note, i don't actually know regular expressions, i just know it's possible).

Does this feature already exist? Or is there another method? I want to add stuff to my devices, but till I get this worked out I can't.
