I'm thinking of a token system. An example would be,

Grant, Maxwell - The Shadow 109 - The Golden Masks

I would tokenize that as,

%creator_file_as_01% - %series% %series% %series_index% - %title%

Maybe without the underscores. I don't know. That's why I'm here begging because I'm no programmer. Just create tokens for the common elements. Let the user format the string. And it would not be a batch operation, only the current open file.

Please! I can't find this functionality in any other software.

My current process is just that, a process that takes forever.

EpubMetadataEditor does the opposite of this, allowing you to rename the file based on metadata tokens.

Thanks for reading.
Where did these ePub with no metadata come from?
