Thanks for your response BetterRed. I think the circumstances here are a bit different and neither that tweak setting nor the author-sort parameters seem to be at issue here. The quick reference plugin has some useful features but I think what is needed for this problem is the identification of a RegEx script that would do a straight-forward extraction of the author name (and title) from the illustrated filename. Please let me know if I have misunderstood.

Within the Preferences / Adding Books screen there is basic test process for seeing the results of the RegEx script for a sample filename, and that test confirms the problem as well.
