I need to add a couple of thousand books to my library. The file names are structured like this:

Series-123 Title of Book (Author Name) 1989.txt

I created the following regex to manage the import and it tests out perfectly.

Code:

^(?P<series>.+)-(?P<series_index>\d{1,4}) (?P<title>.+)\((?P<author>.+)\) (?P<published>\d{4})

Once the book imports everything is right except the title, which is simply the file name minus the extension. While I can fix these with a regex on search and replace, I would like to avoid the extra step. Am I missing something in the preferences?

Any help would be much appreciated!
