Hi all,

i am new here, and i have a serious problem, for what i did not find any solution with the common tools that are available for free. I am also willing to write skripts to do what i want.

here is my problem:

I have lots of ebooks (epub) that are all ordered in folders alphabetically.
The filename contains the author and the title in the following way:

lastname, surname - title.epub

If i read this files into my Tolino the books are not sorted like this. That is because the metadata do not match to the correct authors as they are stored in the filenames. So i want to correct the metadata automatically.

With calibre i have the problem, that it always generates duplicates of the file and the new filenames begin with the title not the author. Also it generates opf files, that i do not want. There must be a way to store the metadata inside the epub files without using opf files. Because otherwise i cannot explain how Tolino or Calibre know the already existing metadata without the opf, which i currently do not have.

With "epub metadata editor" i am not able to edit all the tags. Because if i read the modified files into Calibre, some tags are still missing or are still wrong. Most are working proberly. Epub metadata editor obviously modifies the metadata inside the epub files.

I am looking for a tool like I use for mp3 tag editing: Mp3tag
There i can easyly copy the filename into the several tags inside the mp3 file. And all can be done automatically in batch mode.

Does anyone have help.

cheers and thanks a lot.
