metadata field list?

Hi, I've been looking through the documentation, and have been (so far) unable to find a full list of the metadata fields (and their exact names) available for use when adding files.

I have books like this:

927342987.Some.University.Press.Some.Title.With.Pe riods.Apr.2000.pdf

and I used the following regex:

(?P<isbn>[^\.]+).(?P<publisher>.+Press)\.(?P<title>.+)\.(?P<pubd ate>(Jan|Feb|Mar|Apr|May|Jun|Jul|Aug|Sep|Oct|Nov|D ec)\.\d{4})

I get the title and the ISBN OK, but the published date and the publisher don't get through

You can only get access to the ones you see on the preferences->add dialog options. So that is title, author, series, series_index and isbn. You cannot get pubdate.
