Thumbs up Renamed Files In Kobo Aura with Calibre and Kobo Utilities Plugin

Hello:

I've succesfully renamed the title of the ebooks in my Kobo Aura as follows:
  1. Installing and configuring the Kobo Utilities Plugin (simplicity itself)
  2. Using the standard Calibre Bulk Edit Metadata option to remove (with regular expresssions) the "<series name> <series index #> - " from the title
  3. Using Kobo Utilities to udpate title and/or series directly to the Kobo Aura database

It worked like a charm, without a glitch... and quite fast.

Since I've quite a collection to go through, it will take a while to rename them all, but the method works and I'm certain it will take less time than my previous attempt: deleting ebooks from my Aura, renaming the title in Clibre and then uploading them back to my Aura.

Thanks a lot for everyone who gave reply to my questions and had patience while I plodded on.

Very gratefully yours,

[INCANUS]
