Importing and maintaining title, author

I'm loving Calibre (kudos to your wife on picking a good name!). But something is driving me nuts.

I have a collection of e-books. I carefully went through them and standardized the file names: Lastname, Firstname - Title.epub (e.g., Pratchett, Terry - The Color of Magic.epub).

But when I import these into Calibre, it seems to come up with its own naming scheme. The author is usually changed to Firstname Lastname and the titles lose whatever capitalization corrections I made (e.g., "The Color of Magic" becomes "The color of magic").

It seems that Calibre is pulling the data from the file itself. But is there any way to either force it to use my structure, or at least tell it to use "Lastname, Firstname" for authors?

Thanks for any help you can give!
