Flatten the 'save to disk' directory structure

ivanabq · 05-31-2013, 12:38 AM

Currently the Calibre "Save to Disk" function in the following directory structure:

{author_sort}
.....{title}
..........{filename}.{type}
..........{filename}.opf
..........{filename}.jpg

Can I flatten this to:

{author_sort}
.....{filename}.{type}
.....{filename}.opf
.....{filename}.jpg

Thanks for your help.

Under Preferences > Saving books to disk, there's a "Save template" box which tells Calibre how to create the folders.

Thanks. I didn't understand what I was looking at.

It's okay...in Calibre there's *lots* to look at. I probably understand only 1% of what it can do!
