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?

I would like to be able to do this too.
I want to set a custom column to equal the original filename.
However, at the current time it is impossible.
I am wondering now if I can do something with a
custom calibre-debug script...
