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

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.

Welcome to MR!
I would actually take a look at Calibre; it has some amazing ebook management features! It has the functionality to grab metadata from the filename. You can then "download" the rest of the metadata from your favorite website with the click of a button. I use Calibre to manage my library, and Sigil to Edit the actual HTML code. Calibre Editor also has some functionality not present in Sigil - so I'd look at using them both.
Cheers!
