filenames in the calibre library
Hi,
I don't understand the rules, the way to modify file names of .epub (and other formats) files. After an importation I got such file names: L'herbe bleue, Journal d'une jeune fille d - Sparks, Beatrice.epub instead of: L'herbe bleue, Journal d'une jeune fille de 15 ans - Sparks, Beatrice.epub (truncature) and why I can have only 20 ebooks in the kobo glow reader ?? when I try to send it 60 ebooks. (not exact values) A matter of file name ? kobo software firmware ? or something else ? French specialist welcome ! In addition in Calibre all my books have the author fieldS :Name, Firstname there is a space after the "," Is there a way to change all those fields at once for all the books ? Where are the old plugins, the duplicates finder ? Last edited by Frenchdummy; 08-10-2014 at 10:12 AM. |

answering the last question:
on the Menu: Preferences: Get Plugins: <choose> (restart will probably be required, but you can install many before doing that ONCE after the last one) Any space BETWEEN fields is controlled by the send to ... template {title}-{Authors} just a dash, no spaces {title} - {Authors} with gaps The comma within the {authors} field is the Ln, Fn standard Filenames are trimmed to be compatible with all OS pathname limits |

And to fix the author names, the Quality Check plugin has the necessary tool for switching books in bulk between
LN, FN <--> FN LN |

@betterRed, @eschwartz, @theducks Thanks.
Not sure to be able to modify things. Another problem with calibre ( last version ) My Kobo glo is not recognised ( not mounted as a Drive) on My iMac. ( firmware updated by wifi) |

If your Glo isn't even mounted as a drive by the OS, there is little Calibre can do about that. I'm not a Mac person, so I don't know what the solution might be; perhaps someone else does.

Could it be the USB cable (wire) ? Or maybe the OS version ( Mac OSX 10.9.4 ) looking for a mac user...
By the way I have similar result with my second glo. (with another firmware) I'm about to try on another Mac |
