too many authors

iomari · 09-22-2011, 05:06 AM

greetings,
too many authors causes calibre to export wrong tags on "sending". I have exported folders that have names that are shortened versions of their full names. I noticed this only happens when there are too many authors in the author field.

I don't know what you mean by "wrong tags" but actual filenames and paths can only be so long in certain Operating Systems. When that limit is surpassed calibre truncates the info in the filename as required. If your book type supports metadata (epub or mobi?) then the tags and authors info exists inside the metadata of the book completely intact.

dwanthny you'll answered my question. I didn't consider the fact that I'm using author name as part of the filename. Some were entirely too long. Thanks
