concerning add I and add II:
tweaking the global.py works as described and wanted, if:
read_file_metadata = False
then calibre will read the filename and:
filename_pattern = u'(?P<author>[^_]+) - (?P<title>.+)'
will work! - with extended filenames too (author - filename - notes.ext)
unfortunatly i used a word-produced .rtf and the properties where filled with
an author in the format: prename name (pn ln).
am i stupid!
i didn't even know that a .rtf can carry metadata. now i know!
thanks for pushing me to the regex tweaks in the prefs,
copy author to author_sort value is: comma
great!
the save_to_disk.py tweak, as described before, works perfectly.
but just for -save to disk-, naturally.
add III:
i thinks i can live with it, cause of the add I+II solutions.
now the file structure is simular to the imported filename.
just the filename itself is vis versa (fn - pn, ln.ext)
you say, there is a lot of code to modify... i'm nosy.
to whom it may concern:
i try to keep my workflow simple.
if i'm working on different versions of an e-book,
i'm just saving under different/extended filenames, importing...
that's it. no hustle with overwriting older version.
an than all my files should have the same syntax: ln, pn - fn.ext
calibre now (then) holds it all.
