Well that was easy!
Thank you, boss.

What criteria would you use to determine which books get the default LN, FN in the template? We are using general program mode anyway, we might as well throw in a few frills and acrobatics.

Well, none, for author name in the jacket. The above modifications to the jacket template sorted that out and answered ALL my questions from the start of this thread, pretty much, including the speed issue. i.e. jacket will ALWAYS say FN/LN book list view will always read LN/FN. Joy to the world. Making the Quality Check swap FN/LN redundant.
HOWEVER, now that I know (roughly) how to add custom columns I might have a little fiddle with some other stuff after some further reading of the code. I do love a good fiddle. I do use basic regex in Sigil but only the most basic and obvious of editing commands.
BTW perhaps this screen shot will make what I do more meaningful. As you can see, I tailor covers with my own originals much of the time, but always add series info to them. Very helpful. The inset is of the customised jacket as it shows in ebook viewer.
