But... I was always too lazy.

One way would be to patch calibre, to add in a feature that allows keeping the file contents metadata and overriding it with the filename regex (and also enabling custom columns in the from_filename metadata). The other way would be to add it via a script, possibly via calibre-debug, possibly via bash.


I will have to see sometime soon, if I can bash something together.
The file name could encapsulate multiple properties (attachment id, upload timestamp, number of downloads...), which could be subsequently pulled apart into separate custom columns with bulk edit S&R.

BR
