I recently installed Calibre and it looks quite useful. I have over 800 eBooks mostly in Mobipocket format. As expected several hundred of these did not have metadata which was picked up by Calibre. I would like to make use of the "metadata from filename" option but I have my eBooks named in 2 different ways.

NotSeries: Genre_Author_Title
Series: Genre_Author_SeriesName#_Title

for NotSeries this works: (?P<tags>.+)_(?P<author>[^_]+)_(?P<title>.+)

I'm not sure how to add in the series information so that it will continue to work for both title types. Any suggestions are welcome!
