Removing periods in Authors

How can I remove the periods from an Authors name when saving the name, and : changed to ' - ' in title. Only when saving book name.

ie - i want....

Title - of Book - I A Author.epub

not...

Title: of Book - I. A. Author.epub


Thank you for your help.

I have figured out a lot of other things from this forum.

I don't think it is possible.

I think you will have to update the title and author in the library, using bulk metadata search and replace.

Or use some 3rd party bulk file renaming utility on the books after they are saved to disk.
