My apologies if this has been asked or explained before. I use Calibre primarily for file conversions and file editing (EPUBs). Actually, a lot of it. When adding a file to Calibre, I have a file name I would like to retain.

For example, here is the name of a file I am adding to Calibre and what Calibre renames it to in its folder structure:

Original file name: Once Upon a Halloween (2021).epub

Calibre file name: Once Upon a Halloween_ A wicked - Patti Larsen.epub

When performing file conversions, I tend to use the command line option with Calibre, where I can control the output file names within a batch or script file. But for editing, I seem to be at the mercy of how Calibre names the physical files.

Is there any way to retain the original file name?
