I want to sort ebooks into different folders based on their formats: all EPUBs/RTFs/FB2s in
'docs2' folder, all MOBIs/APNXs/MBPs/PDFs into
'documents' folder on my Kindle ereader. No attempt to call up a list of all the formats associated with an ebook or switch between them has worked. So far:
- {formats}
- {#formats} -> custom column using {formats} that spits out comma-separated list of all current ebook formats for each ebook
- {#fmts} -> custom column using {:'approximate_formats()'}
- {:'approximate_formats()'}
When saving to disk, the path skips these variables.
Playing around with it, I noticed that none of my custom columns are recognized in the save template. The Template Editor warns that it doesn't recognize any custom column:
Quote:

"EXCEPTION: Value: unknown field #formats".

But the custom columns work alright elsewhere in Calibre. So maybe I'm calling them in the template incorrectly? However, the related built-in fields of {formats} and {:'approximate_formats()'} get skipped when building the save path, too.
I tested those variables with and without the :switch() function. Without the :switch(), the save path skips the variable entirely. With it, the save path uses the function's exception option.
I'm not a programmer, and I've been poking at it for a few days. Any help would be appreciated.
