Hi all,

I have in my portable calibre library a lot of items which the title has the name of "author" and in the author property for "title". For example, the Title column, the value appears as "Mr. Bean" and in the Author column is "In the hospital" instead of Title = "In the hospital" and Author is "Mr. Bean".

I think this caused by the automatic functionality of Calibre when dealing with the file name "Mr. Bean - In the hospital".

What can I do to massively swap (one or more of the) titles with the authors of many items so that they look better. I find in context menu but seems not available, and the import function allow to do that handle metadata seems not very flexible for that.

Kind regards
