Options for exporting to disk
I've exported some 300 books to a folder for reading on my mobile phone, using the "Export specific format: TXT" function. They all end up in one folder in the format "Title - Author.txt".
Is there some way to customize the naming, e.g. "Author - Series [no]. - Title.txt"? That would make for more convenient browsing, and displaying the series is necessary for me to be able to read the books in the correct order. |

Just a suggestion, can we use XPaths (or something similar) for the exported filenames instead of fixed options? Would it also be possible to include support for folders?
e.g. Code:
%author/(%series/%series %series_no - )?%title Code:
J.K. Rowling/Harry Potter/Harry Potter 01 - Philosopher's Stone J.K. Rowling/Harry Potter/Harry Potter 02 - Chamber of Secrets J.K. Rowling/Harry Potter/Harry Potter 03 - Prisoner of Azkaban Stephen King/Nightmares and Dreamscapes |

Would it also be possible for the Save to Disk to allow for directories that use the /Tag and Author for directory structure like some of the readers do?
The jetbook seems to have a really slow USB interface so would be nice to be able to setup with Save to disk onto an SD card. |

basically save to disk will have access to most of the metadata and you will be able to use it in setting up the template.
