I recently bought my first e-reader and have been trying to convert comics. I figured out what works best for me somewhat, which is converting them into ZIP and then using the CBR file on my Pictures directory on the Kindle DX G.

One problem I have run into is with the naming method that Calibre uses when the image files are created. The files are named as 0_0, 1_0, 2_0...10,0, 11_0 and so on. The problem is when I load the comic on the Kindle, it reads it out of order by the structure of 0_0, 1_0, 10_0, 11_0 and so on.

Is there any setting in Calibre that can force the filenames to be triple digit, ie 000_0, 001_0 etc? I know I can batch rename these in other software but I would hope there is a solution in Calibre.
