File name when saving to a device

In Preferences, under Add/Save, under the Sending to Device tab, I have my template set to {authors}/{title}.

When I send my books to my jetBook Lite, my files get put in the Authors directory, but the file names are Authors#Title.

Did I miss a configuration somewhere?

Thanks.

the jetbook requires file names to be in that format.

yes, the file names are in the Author#Title format in the internal jb-l memory, and they display on the device screen correctly as Author Title. but, on the SD card in the device, when stored in the Author#Title format, on the device screen they display as Author#Title.

do i need to treat books being sent to the SD card differently?

Thanks.

That's justa limitation of the driver system, it can't handle different file formats for files in the main memory vs the SD card. You can always use save to disk instead.

Uncheck "save cover separately" on the Preferences | Add/Save \ Saving Books tab.
