The new files will get their filenames from the "Table of Contents" column value in the "Select Sections to Split Off" table. It would be great to have more control and see beforehand what the new books' title will be. Ideally we could format it with references like "{Title} - {PartNumber} - {ToC}" to generate something like "The Science of Interstellar - 0005 - 1 A Scientist in Hollywood: The Genesis of Interstellar" instead of just "1 A Scientist in Hollywood: The Genesis of Interstellar". It would be much better, because this new formatting would keep the order of the sections (unlike the current naming) and the whole Calibre library more organized.

Again, I'll leave this open for now, but I'm not really interested in implementing it.

EpubSplit gives the option to edit the ToC entries, and the first one selected is used by default as title of the new book. But it's expected many (most?) users will want to keep that ToC entry (along with the others selected), and assign a different book title. The 'New Book per Section' features are honestly secondary.

IMO, it's not difficult to find the newly split ebooks in your library (by Modified Last if nothing else) and use Calibre's existing Edit Metadata tools such as Find & Replace, and/or other tools such as the Manage Series plugin to manage them.
