Bulk Edit Metadata problem
I have a group of files that I want to add " (ARC)" at the end of the title. Finding and displaying/selecting the files to modify is easy.
When I go into Edit Metadata, then pick the "Search and Replace" tab, I have the following Search Mode: Regex Field: Title Search For: (.*) Replace:\1 (ARC) The result, tho, is: Original Title (ARC) (ARC) both in the preview and the library. I have used bulk edit before, but usually to remove series info, fix author names (that have commas), etc. This is the first time I have used it to try to add characters after the name. This seems like a major bug, but possibly one no one has run into before? For now, I have to then run a second bulk edit on the same group, with: (.*) (\(ARC\)) replacing with just \1 which works, but is a bit of a pain. Am I doing something wrong? Or can Calibre be fixed? Calibre 9.11 (was doing the same in another 9.x version, just updated to see if this had been reported and fixed). |
