There is a huge collection of cbz-files which I want to catalogue in calibre. Unfortunately, the files themselves do not contain any metadata such as "author". Instead you can find the files in the their author's folder.
Example: Author A has written three books B1, B2 and B3. There is one folder called "Author A" which contains all three books.
There are a hella lot of them, so importing them as usual would result in countless hours of re-tagging the files with "author" which I want to avoid. So, here is my question: Is there any way to use the folders' names with the information of the author?
(or in other words: Can Calibre automatically tag the files with the author-data from their folders?)

@
Wimi_Bussard - one way would be to use an OS level renamer that has the ability to include parent folder name in the rename, so that you end up with file names like "Author A - B1".
Then you could use a template in Add Books such as
(?P<author>[^_]+) - (?P<title>.+) and use this add option
