Changing file names
My wife would prefer that the file name of a book in Calibre be composed of author + title rather than title + author. Is there a way to change that? This is in the context of my inputting a book in Amazon format and then converting it to epub for her reader.

The default template may look something like this: Code:
{title} - {authors} Code:
{authors:sublist(0,1,&)} - {title} or {author_sort:sublist(0,1,&)} - {title} I've attached an image of the save template I use with my Kobo ereaders. Code:
Elib/{author_sort:sublist(0,1,&)}/{title} - {authors:sublist(0,1,&)} Last edited by DNSB; 06-09-2024 at 04:54 PM. |

But, all I do is to e-mail her the file from the Calibre directory. She takes care of loading to her preferred reader.

The Metadata Plugboard can also be configured to do its magic only on e-mailed books.
There should be very little need to ever enter the Library Folder. |

I have no idea what the Metadata Plugboard is. All I am doing is adding the Kindle book to Calibre, downloading the metadata, converting to epub, composing an e-mail with a subject of author sort and title, opening the path, dragging the epub to the mail, and sending the e-mail.

Do not open the path, do not drag the epub to the mail. DNSB said "In fact, stop looking at those files and consider them a black box. " theducks said "There should be very little need to ever enter the Library Folder." Take their advice. |
