That's what I get for listening to you when you said:
I believed you when you said your files were in a particular format and I tried to make it simple, not flexible. |
Sorry!
I thought simple would work. Simple is good, most of the time. And really, that's the way I name most of my files, which are a mix of free books, fanfic, academic pdfs and various fiction books. I place files in author folders, so it seems redundant to me to add an author name to the file. E.g. for fanfic, I've got Fandom > Authors > Files.

I'm really going to have to look at why my simpler expressions threw errors.

It will when you actually add a book to calibre with a blank author.

When I tested it, it just left the field blank, it didn't add "unknown". I will soon add some files without an author listed and see what happens.
