Change Folder in the Droid Device
It's been discussed a thousand times, but I still have not seen an answer.
I've change the android plugin to storage/extsdcard/ebooks, BUT it keeps saving it in the storage card but in books. HOW the H&&&& do I change it. |

It has worked on an HP Slate 7 with an external SD card, with a folder called eBOOKS on it. I tried everything in the Android plug-in, which appeared to work when I loaded books onto my ASUS T300 and the Slate 7 - the phone took me to having to 'configure' the Card A. Now then, as all devices I have the books being saved to Card A into eBOOKS I think I'm ok - what do you think? Also where do I go to get info on setting up series? |

When you enter a series name for a book in Metadata Edit and it doesn't already exist then the series is established - try it. After that you only need to enter a couple of characters - eg "Fou" and select the name from the drop down list - eg Foul Fiends, Foundation, Fourbury Tales etc. The series number auto increments from current high number, you can change it. In between numbers are allowed eg 2.5. BTW - for me at least there is no need to reply to my posts if you already supplied the info in another post BR |

There is a Preferences:Tweaks:
for how automatic Series incrementing algorithm works: IIRC the default is start at 1 and increment. IF the book contains a Calibre series meta tag (there is no standard), that will be used. Every device does it different (remember: 'No standard') Use the Plugboard to PREPEND the Series-Index for your K as it is even less accommodating in sorting. Also consider using the Kindle Collections PI to make 'Series' collections ( shorten the name to index-Title with the Collection implying the Series name) |

Interested in getting the series to Moonreader as well
This is a quirk for me, too. Two parts: A) I manage the metadata for the series just fine, thanks. Yes you need to be diligent when you import books, because publishers have no standard for series information. It can be there or not, in the title or in the series or both places. That means I have to edit the metadata for each book that comes in. It's worth it.
B) I have set up plugins and plugboards to manage the directory and filenames of the books when they hit the device as well as the metadata of the book that get reader can see. It used to work. Not sure when it crapped out, may have been before 1.0. I have a Galaxy S4 SGH-I337 with Android 4.2.2 and MoonReader. I put the books on the SDCard. They get to the Card/books/ directory Ok, but fail to get into an author directory. Here is what I put in the Android device plugin for save template: {author_sort}/{series:|[|}{series_index:0>4.1f| |] - }{title} - {authors} and here is what I get: Card/books/Rivers of London - Ben Aaronovitch.epub I do something similar to the metadata with a plugboard and get similar results. The bitch is, it used to work! I have another book: Card/books/Anthony, Piers/[Cluster 01] - Cluster - Piers Anthony.epub and the metadata shows the title as: [Cluster 01] - Cluster Any suggestions? I'd hate to have to incorporate all my series' into the title field. |
