Plugboard, template series_index first?
Hello,
I'm trying to set a Metadata Plugboard template for 'saving to disk' and sending via email. I've switched to using Play Books by Google because it's syncing appears much more reliable than Moon Reader Pro's. The sad thing is that Play Books mainly lists ebooks by cover. Unless you click on 'see more' then you see some of the titles name but if it's long it truncates it. That makes it so we can't see the series index. I figure I can get around that by listing the index(number) first. I've searched and found this which is close to what I want, but not quite there. {series}{series_index:0>2s| - | - }{title} Like I mentioned, I want the number first. The above gives me, as an example: Wheel of Time, The - 12 - Gathering Storm, The.epub But what I'd like to get is: 12 - Wheel of Time, The - Gathering Storm, The.epub Anyone know if this is possible with calibre? And if so, how? |

Thank you MiniMouse, for the reply and the helpful information. I tried
{series_index:0>2s|| - }{series:|| - }{title} but get the same thing. I then tried restarting calibre thinking it might not go into effect until a restart. But there's no change. I get this Wheel of Time, The - 11 - Knife of Dreams.epub Any other ideas? I do have the latest version of calibre portable. It updated last night. |

Though I made my template like this: Quote:
Edit: Even leaving out '{author_sort}/{title}/' and only having the template like this: Quote:
You are sure the template is standing under 'preferences ->Saving books to disk'? And sure you looked in the right folder where you saved it? Otherwise I have no idea.

You may have a device driver override.
Preferences ==> Saving books to disk only applies as a default, every device can then be set differently. Last edited by eschwartz; 09-12-2014 at 05:31 PM. |

And in any event, the save to disk template is not a plugboard. Plugboards do not affect file names. They affect only the metadata inside the book.
