Calibre: Read Filename into Custom Column

[juston]

Hey guys,
Is there a function that will allow me to read the filename of a book into a custom column, something like:

Lookup name: filename
Column heading: File Name
Column type: Column built from other columns
Template: {#filename:'getFileName()'}

Is there a function that can be called in a template that will return the File Name? If I can get the File Name I can parse the info I need into a custom column.

Glad you're on top of it, but sure would be nice if you'd post a link to where you moved it. Because ten years later, I can't find it (or the answer).

The GetFileName plugin is a FileType plugin, it uses Text columns -- something like this :



Which you specify the plugin configuration, something like this:



Any questions/issues should be posted in the plugin's thread ==> Index of plugins - FileType plugins are at the end of the active list.
