can I set a specific rule for extracting metadata from file name, to apply only to these new formats ( i.e. no change to how I import actual ebooks) . I doubt my file naming has been historically consistent, but I should be able to get at least one descriptive field from a file name

cybmole - You can get author & title from the file name providing your file names conform to what you have in the
Add Books->Configure metadata from filename->Regular Expression
That regex edit box operates as a MRU list - so you have to change it before you add different 'types' of books - eg regular books, guitar lessons, movies etc. But if you only have a few 'types' it should be liveable with - I have different regex's for my books, journals and media libraries.
