That could work if there's a way to specify during the import to pull the data from the file names as the first priority, filling in data from the metadata present in the file only when that's missing, or to restrict the use of that metadata to only covers, publisher, published date and comments.
Because the metadata is not as accurate as the filename data for author and series, I can't permit caliber to pull only metadata from the internal information, it makes a mess of the imported books.
I don't need information from the online sources and that speed limit is annoying when the data is already accurate and present in the file names for most sections I care about(author, series) from the filenames, it's just a few pieces of missing information I'd like to pull from the file's metadata.
EDIT: Or is there a way to have Calibre use the file's metadata during import, and then over-write author and series from the filename data which I've already got corrected?
