How to export to folder by file type?

[punknomad]

I'm wondering how I can export my files to my rooted nook simple touch by the following folder structure:

epub/series/title/title - author

basically, starting out with the type of file shown by a folder named as the file type. i would like to do this since i have several ereader programs, since some handle certain file types better than others.

thanks in advance for any help!

i forgot to mention that my current save template is:

{formats}/{series}/{title_sort} - {author_sort}

but all im getting is:

formats/*series name*/*title* - *author*

instead of what im going for:

epub/..
mobi/..
pdf/...

etc...

nothing? really? i thought this would be something really obvious that I'm somehow missing. can anyone help?

{formats} - A list of formats available in the calibre library for a book

You have to use list_item(val, index, separator), i.e. something like {formats:list_item(index, ',')}.

But you can't loop over all formats per ebook. You must manually adjust index and the format to export and then rerun the save-to-device feature to consider all formats:

You cannot create more than one path for a given book within one save operation. The only way to create the duplicates is to do multiple save operations using different templates.

I think, it is easier to specify the folder name directly and enable only the corresponding format to be exported:
Enable only PDF to export, set root folder name to PDF, save to device
Enable only EPUB to export, set root folder name to EPUB, save to device

Could you create multiple plugboards; one per format.... and then set the first level directory statically to the corresponding format.
