Customizing Import and Save to Disk of Calibre

Pocok · 04-21-2024, 05:09 PM

Hey there,

I'm using only Calibre if I want to modify something with ebooks and normally store them elsewhere. That's why I need to somehow tinker with some settings in order to change its behavior in two ways and for that I would like to ask the community's help:

1) Put EVERY newly imported (and later saved) book into a single folder.

I want Calibre to use universally a folder named "books" as its base of operations. No Author/Title, no Unknown, nothing, just a single huge folder.

2) I tried to work with Regexp, managed to remove the author from the file name, but now it uses a (built in) "- Unknown" following the actual book(title) name.

I want Calibre to not use that Unknown either, but rather just the file name as I imported the book.

Are these possible and if so what settings should I change? I've looked around the Preferences and couldn't find the specific options for my taste.

Thank you in advance!

Edit: I found the related FAQ part for this, so its not possible

You can invoke the calibre editor on its own.
