A novice question - please redirect me if the question has been answered elsewhere.

I have a large library of books - some 20,000 items, including artwork. Some of these are book series. For example, I have the Amber series by Zelazny.

For any given book, I understand I need to retitle the file to be

Author - title.txt

They are currently stored in

Zelazny, Roger/The Amber Chronicles/number - title.txt

I propose to write a script to generate Calibre-friendly filenames, but cannot work out how to include the Series name and number.

This is quite a general problem, as elsewhere I have the three volume set of Feynman lectures, which will need similar treatment.

I imagine this has been done before, and would welcome all and any advice.

TIA
