[Suggestion]: Option to add serie name and number to book name

[rolgiati]

An option in Edit Metadata in Bulk allowing the user to prepend the serie name and number to the name of a book would be a boon for Kindle users, who cannot see the books sorted in serie order otherwise.

Save templates can do this without corrupting real metadata

You can do that already, but anyone with experience will tell you not to screw up your library by adding series info to your titles in your calibre library.

Metadata plugboards were created to prepend series to the title on the fly as the book is sent to your device (Kindle). Read the "Techniques to use plugboards, custom columns and templates" Sticky post for more info.

A side note for new users, there are sticky posts at the top of all calibre forums with info that is pertinent to calibre's use. All new users should review these posts when they have a chance.
