I've been using your app for a couple of weeks now. Really appreciate some of the features, so thanks for a useful app.
Flattery aside, I've got a pretty large PDF library that I've managed to sort into some kind of order by naming each file with relevant metadata. Currently I'm using a NAME—AUTHOR—TYPE schema to describe what's in each PDF.
I noticed that your batch import function allows filling out metadata based on folder structure, so I was considering writing a script to create a fake file hierarchy with symlinks. I may still do that, when I get chance, but I was wondering how difficult it would be to import the same information by describing a file mask: specifying a separator, and variables like ${TITLE}, ${GENRE}, etc.
Thanks,
Ben
