Hi, I have been using Calibre to convert my library to epub format (displays best on my ebook reader) and I wanted to know if there was a way to keep the output file name the same as the source.

It seems to name the output file whatever it feels like, one was named "Font Font Color Font Size Background Col". others are truncated, or have the author removed from the file name, some are named after the first line of text in the file.

I then have to figure out what is what and change the names back, it is time consuming and overly complicated. I am not using it for library management, just batch conversion to epub.

is there a way to force it to keep the same file name?
Thank you.
