I would like to convert "_" to ":" in the file name title when adding books.

For example:
John Doe - Cooking_ With Gas - 2014

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

Is there a modification I can make so that the imported title is "Cooking: With Gas".
colon is a reserved filesystem character.
