Thus, if you can tell me what metadata should generate which save template, then I can give you a master template that makes the choice. If the choice is made because you know the answer but can't give the rules, then abandon hope all ye who enter here.
Sorry - I'm new to this, so I wasn't sure what to/what not to supply.

I'll try and make it clearer. After a think, in an ideal world (because I don't know what is possible) I would please like...

1. Folders to go: #category, which contains the #sub_category folders, in which are the corresponding series. If no series exists, then the ebooks should just be in their #sub_category folder.
The title of the ebooks to be title - series number (to 2 decimal places) - author ,if the ebook is within a series. If it isn't part of a series, then just title-author.

2. Folders: #genre, to contain the #sub_genre folders.
Title of ebook: title-author.

3. Folders: #genre, to contain the #sub_genre folders, each of which contains the relevant 'series' folders.
Title: title-series number to 2 decimal places-author

Is that better? Or do I need to put anything else? I suppose 2. and 3. are the same thing, only one is for ebooks in a series and the other is for single ebooks.

Thank you
