I've hit a number of epubs recently where the filenames appear to be UUIDs or similar, and my previous experiences with Regex has been sporadic, so I tend to have to relearn everything every time I go to use it

So epubs with a cover, a toc and 50+ chapters named helpful things like:

OEBPS/Text/05cbbce8-ddc9-46ba-a426-51e4fb85dee9.html

Which should be something more meaningful like: chapter_1,html

Any pointers to a tutorial for how to use Regex Rename in this instance?

Or is there a plugin that can do more rational renames on the files?

I've spent half an hour searching the forums, but may just be using the wrong search terms.
