save to disk template help
Hi,
I'm trying to make a bit of a complex save to disk template because I want to save some of my library on cloud storage. {#genre}/{#subgenre}/{#category}/{author_sort} - {series:'ifempty($, field('title'))'}/{series_index:'ifempty($, field('title'))'}/{title} - {authors} When I use save to disk quite a lot of the folders are misspelt I was wondering if this was a common issue or if it's because I'm using the wrong template. not all books contain data in the custom columns ( {#genre}/{#subgenre}/{#category}) but most do. the scheme is by no means perfect but the incorrect folder names are annoying me. I created a custom column to test out the template and there are no spelling errors. I tried to figure out how to use the lookup function because in the docs it says it's useful for variable file paths but I couldn't figure it out. any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards, |

That template can create a huge path (# characters)
Calibre will try and trim out stuff to keep it legal (for all OS). |
