Ok, in the test box it works perfectly. (and as you noted the strange bug, all the "published" years have Mar-15 appended for month and day)

and once files are processed, in Calibre the data is correct except....

The titles are the original file name, not the book tittle from the add books regex.

ex,
ROT-4089 Make it this way (Jane Smith) 2009.txt
in the regex box is:

Series: ROT [4089]
Author: Jane Smith
Title: Make it this way
Published: 2009-03-15

But once imported in Calibre
Title:ROT-4089 Make it this way (Jane Smith) 2009

Why is it ignoring the regex for the tittle?

EDIT: Never mind. I forgot to uncheck the box for read from metadata instead of file name.
