Calibre Filenames and Sony PRS-650
Hi there,
I have a question (or perhaps a request?) ... First my setup: - I use a Sony PRS-650 which is able to "sort by filename" - I use Calibre to fill the Sony because I LOVE the way Calibre puts my books in Collections based on "Series" and "Tags" - My books get their meta-data edited to only include the book name in "title" (no series information) - and I want it to stay that way Now my question: Is there any way to get calibre to "export" my files directly to my Sony using the following convention (and still put them in collections like before)? Author - Series - Series Index - Name of the book - anything calibre needs to identify Why I would like this: If something like this is possible, I could make "collections" by using tags (For example "English" - "Deutsch" - "Rollins, James") and use "sort by filename" to put everything inside one collection in a logical order (well - logical for me) - Series would be in order, single books by the same author would be at the right place etc.) Is there any way to do what I would like? |

Moderator Notice Moved to correct forum. Take a look at preferences->sending books to device. You can enter the path and filename of books using the Calibre template language. For what you want, you'll probably want to use something like Code:
{authors} - {series|| - }{series_index|| - }{title} |

Hello Manichean,
thanks for the "push" into the right forum and for your help!! For everybody interested, this is what I found working for me: {author_sort}/{authors} - {series} {series_index:0>2s} - {title} |

You should note, though, that your template has no conditional formatting for series, that is, if no series information is present, your books will get a filename of, for example, "John Smith - - A Book". This may or may not be a problem for you.

Those do the conditional formatting. If you change your template to
Code:
{author_sort}/{authors}{series| - |} {series_index:0>2s} - {title} What exactly didn't work when you tried the example I posted earlier? What filenames did you get? |

Hi Manichean,
with your first line I get: Author - Title with your second line I get: Author Series_index - Title Meanwhile I stumbled upon: {author_sort}/{authors} - {series}{series_index:0>2s| - | - }{title} That seems to work, but gives Author - Series - Series_index - Title I find no way to eliminate the - between Series and Series-index ... |

Ah, my bad. The syntax is a little different in one detail than I remembered:
Code:
{author_sort}/{authors}{series:| - |} {series_index:0>2s} - {title} |
