I've searched, but not found (doesn't mean it's not there) a "fix" for this.

I have several sets of e-books which when I try to extract, let's say, the .epub files give me a set of files with identical names which I have to manually rename to be able to put them in a single directory. As an example:

The Year's Best Science Fiction, First Annual Collection
The Year's Best Science Fiction, Second Annual Collection
etc. up to 35

With the Author (editor, in fact) Gardner Dozois

Results in 35 .epub files all named:

The Year's Best Science Fiction - Gardner Dozois

Is there any way to get Calibre to avoid creating duplicate names, other than manually changing the titles to something other than their original name?
