Thank you for your answer, Kovid - but I don't understand well : the replace field in the bulk metadata edit pop-up are the book's metadata fields, not those of the tags table, isn't it ?

My objective is a bulk editing/management of the author table - trying to do that through "<dc:creator opf:role="aut" opf:file-as=Surname, etc. " of epub files (normalized, verified with exceptions)

Actually, if you import an epub with
<dc:creator opf:role="aut" opf:file-as="La Farge, Oliver">Oliver La Farge</dc:creator>
The author table entry will be :
Oliver La Farge - Farge, Oliver La (applying the standard Calibre algorithm)
