Two questions

Hey guys, I got into ebooks a while ago, and have just discovered the wonderful software that is Calibre. I'd like to add my collection, which is sorted in folders with the author's name. The files are named as "author - series # - title" i.e., "Cornelia Funke - Ink 2 - Inkspell.pdf"

However, not all files have a series, and I am not particularly adept at coding, so I am unsure what I should put as the regular expression for metadata guessing.

If anyone could suggest a line, or a way to take the series only when there are more then one dash, please tell me.

I also have one more question. On the user manual, (which is very nice, and easy to use, BTW) the menu bar is shown as having little arrows next to the icons, which give multiple ways of doing the action. It's the first photo on this page: http://calibre.kovidgoyal.net/user_manual/gui.html
On my installation, though, there are no arrows, and that's problematic, as I need to add books recursively. If anyone has experienced this before, or if there is another way of doing it, please share.

Thanks,
Darkmonk
