The settings you may need to 'adjust' are those I've highlighted

There are preconfigured regular expressions you can use - click the little down arrow at the right end of the regular expression field to see the others.

I use the one shown - and you can see that I've entered a test file name and clicked the test button

Fantastic! The conversion isn't necessary now

But I have a last problem, the files that I have have first the titel and after the author, for example:

Colorado Kid - King Stephen

and your string import the name in the title field and the title in the name field. I have reverse the string to

(?P<title>[^_].+) - (?P<author>.+)

but don't work


EDIT

or tell me (and is better!!!) what setting do you have used for rename the files in "author - title" mode, but I want first the surname, for example

King Stephen - Danse macabre

which is exactly the order that I would get, in calibre and the files in the folders, if you solve this problem you solved 90% of my problems with Calibre
