[Plugin] AddSeriestoTitle

[Vroni]

This plugin just takes the calibre series information and adds it to the title. A lot of readers do not interpret these pseudo-standard metadata. Sorting and grouping those series of books does not show them in the right order.

I know that calibre can do that as well, but i dont like/use calibre for personal reasons. Epubmetadata can do that as well - but its only available for windows.

Series information is splitted and checked if there is a minor series or if this is zero - only major version is taken into account. If the minor series is present and greater zero its added as well.

If the series name is already present at the beginning in the title this is taken into account.

Currently the format is fixed - major and minor series are fornatted as two digit values with leading zeroes.

The title is stored in a new meta data entry to avoid repetitive series information in the title. If you change the title only afterwards this will not considered if you start the plugin again.

Don't be so strict when you look at the source code, it's my first Python program and my first plugin. I've stolen a lot of from other plugins, from stackoverflow and Diapdealer, KevinH and Doitso did their best to create this plugin.

As beautifulsoup at least still had problems with namespaces and xml fragments i used the quickparser in the end.

I've tested this plugin with 0.9.17 only, but i guess its running in much older versions as well.
