Save to device file structure

MaxSmart8699 · 01-28-2013, 05:23 PM

I have ALOT of book of many genres I would like to be able to save on the device my custom column info as the first folder called genre then series then authors then the title

I have the edit template like this
{genre}/{series}/{authors}/{title}

the costume column genre is set up to have limited choice

I really want all my Star trek books in a folder caled Star trek without messing up the fact some are TOS STNG DS9 VOY ENterprise New frontier but still be in the same main folder
and same with my star wars books I dont want to have them lose their series their in just to get them all in a star wars folder and same with my Dune and Foundation book as well as many other of the genres and sub-genres I have

if any one knows how I can do this please let me know

It should work fine. Just precede custom column names with hash.

{#genre}

I keep getting this

EXCEPTION: Value: unknown field #genre

To be able to use the value {#genre} you have to have a custom column named genre.

It could be a good idea to first experiment with save to disk. Easier to see how/if that works.
