parsing. The motivation was that files produced by a Brother scanner
wouldn't match paperless' expectations. At most one transformation
is applied (first matching). It won't affect the filename on disk.
This is generic enough so that it is useful for various purposes.
In my case it allows me to use the different hardware buttons on
the scanner to use different profiles, feeding one instance of
paperless with documents of multiple entities and tagging them
accordingly.
Example:
PAPERLESS_FILENAME_PARSE_TRANSFORMS=[{"pattern":"^([a-z]+)_(\\d{8})_(\\d{6})_([0-9]+)\\.", "repl":"\\2\\3Z - \\4 - \\1."},{"pattern":"^([a-z]+)_([0-9]+)\\.", "repl":" - \\2 - \\1."}]
The guesswork section of the docs did not explicitly mention the `Date - Correspondent - Title.pdf` format. From my experience, this format works however. I added it for clarity.
I didn't check the source code, so the support for this format might be intentional.
