I imported a book, which has an incorrect title inside the book's metadata.

For example, lets say the book title is set to "LoTR" instead of "The Lord of the Rings". After importing book into my local library, it is shown in the list of books as "LoTR".

I immediately edit book title in the list to proper name.

But the shortened name remain inside the fb2 file on disk. And if I now try to convert-export the book to an external e-book device - it would receive the shortened name, not the corrected one.

How to synchronize the title inside the book file with the one I just typed in Calibre's GUI?
