If you don't want to use Calibre to manage your ebook library, I'm pretty sure you can still use it to set the serie+index metadata on your reader.
I've not try your exact scenario and it may not work because of not ASCII char in the filenames, or other reasons.
You may have to try various settings for it to work, and may even corrupt your device database so be advise of the risks.
Start situation: where you are currently, with books in your reader missing the serie+index.
- you have Calibre installed on your computer, correctly configured (that's the hard part), and launched on an empty local library
- you connect the reader to your computer with the usb cable and accept the connection on the reader screen
- calibre should detect your device and switch in "device mode" (my terminology)
- calibre allows you to see the books on the reader, and you can import them to the local empty library. It's just a copy to the folder where calibre stores the library. It's a technical folder, filenames have no importance here
- you can eject (calibre has a button for it) then unplug the reader from the computer
- you set the serie+index where missing in calibre
- you reconnect the reader to the computer
- if calibre is configured correctly, it will automatically sync the metadata to the reader database
- after ejecting the reader, you will have the serie+index on it
- if you don't want to keep a copy of your books in the calibre library, you can remove them all to have an empty library for next time

To configure calibre, it will be in part in the KoboTouch driver plugin that is installed in calibre by default. I was saying you don't need the Extended one that needs to be installed.
