Suggestion: I wonder if these would be within scope to implement in Kobo Utilities:

There's two things I'd like to know if are possible to do via plugboards:

1. For series omnibuses, I use series_indexes of x.y — 1.04 or 5.07. Is it possible to replace the period with a dash and remove the extra 0 to display as 1-4 on the Kobo?

2. For unnumbered series, I use a series_index of 0.0. This means a lot of "Series Name - 0"s on my device. Is it possible to return a null value instead?
Both of them can be done by editiing the SQLite database directly, but manually gets tiresome. If it's technically feasible, perhaps a KU menu option for selected books to run a SQLite query to overwrite, which is run prior to eject.
