Removing prefix from Titles
I have many books that I just imported from my filesystem into Calibre with a prefix in the title that I would like to eliminate. For instance, I have about 60 books whose titles begin with "Manual - ". Is there a way to search and replace this string?
As a workaround I could simple rename all the PDF files with Krename and then reimprt them into Calibre. But if there is a way to do the procedure within Calibre I would prefer that. I looked in Edit Metadata but I don't see anything that would help. Thanks. |

![]() Sort/filter on title so all the offending titles are together. Select a few and tap "E" switch tabs Now you are ready to replace title Work on setting your pattern until all the sample read correctly. Click OK to change. Repeat the replace with another group of books (you have the replace term) |
