Book-add and Metadata Download, add rules to filter/transform title

[Katja_hbg]

All my books downloaded from Amazon get the addition "(German Edition)" in the title. Currently I remove that by a search/replace.

But I would prefer to add such a rule in the Book-add function and in Metadata-download function like tags, author and publisher.

So I wonder whether there is a chance to get some rules for title, at least "suppress/remove: ...specific wording ...".
And maybe some user are interested in the other rules around uppercase/lowercase similar to author and publisher.

Hi, I just leave this option in screenshot below checked: "Read Metadata from file contents".



Otherwise I *think* you'll need to use a Regular Expression, such as the one I found in this post:

^((?P<author>([^\-_0-9]+)(?=\s*-\s*)(?!\s*-\s*[0-9.]+)|\b))(\s*-\s*)?(\[?(?P<series>[^0-9\-]+) (- )?(?P<series_index>[0-9.]+)\]?\s*-\s*)?(?P<title>[a-zA-Z1-9 ]+).+

Look forward to see other members input, as I find regex so intriguing

edit: I think I wrongly presumed that the (German Edition) bit was originating from the filename...

I suggest to use the plugin Mass Search/Replace which allows you to save a search/replace operations and to quickly execute it in 1 click and/or shortcut.
