Aside from Calibre to be a library, I'm wondering if anyone might know of any tools (preferable with a GUI as opposed to command line) which could help rename ebook files. I have books with Asian Character names, and as much as I like Calibre as an organizational system, I do like to have the files organized as well without the software. But Calibre likes to rename it into latin characters, and even at that it's wrong sometimes. What I'd like to try and find is a tool that could read the meta data, and pull the Asian Character name and use that as part of the file name.

I found this project: https github com/na--/ebook-tools/ (not sure if I can post links) that did it as a bash script, but I don't know if it has support for unicode names, as I didn't try it.
