I think the most common form would be Chapter-01 ...

To put it bluntly: I do not criticize the default prefix Chapter- but their immutability. And the numbering that can't start (as default) with 01 or 001 or whatever. So I had to help myself with Chapter-01_Image-1 to Chapter-01_Image-5 and Chapter-02_Image-1 ... etc.
Even roman numbers I, II, III, IV for old books (like my example from Mark Twain). I admit, may be this idea doesn't make really mind!?

... but anytime you are changing it, it will be very situation-specific. How often is the default the wrong form?

Situation-specific or not, for a non-English one everything in English is wrong.
And what about Bulk rename ... of pictures? We write Image-01 etc.

Answer to your question: Very often!

Although Calibre's been a damn fine software, there's still something to do!?

Sometimes a thread starts (with a more or less definite opinion) and turns out in the course due to the meaning of others that own attitude was somehow wrong and needed to be revised.

Doing a good job always means a solid understanding of the matter and usable tools.
This maxim applies also for dealing with calibre.

There is also a difference whether there are a few dozen books to edit or some thousands - in the latter case one is willing more to invest (sweat).

And then we come to things like concepts. As a typical German (in this case) I do rarely something without a plan or concept. Commenting on what I mean here would be beyond the scope of this thread (will be dealt with in chaot's edit concepts (continuous thread).

@theducks wrote The filename is for humans ... and @phossler similar ... it's just for people.

That gave me reason for thinking. Before my claim was to put the File Browser entries in English, with lowercase letters for a professional look. BINGO, I admit that was wrong.

Since my edits made so far concern only a few books the upcoming changes is not too much hassle. The entries in the File Browser of my German, English and Spanish books are now will be set language-specific and start with capital letters.
