Send to Device using {id}

Agama · 05-22-2011, 02:38 PM

When I set the Sending-Books-to-Device template to {id} it does not seem to achieve this when sending a book. On the reader they end up with filenames formatted as: {title} - {author}_{id}.epub_{id}

It works fine when I use this in the Save-to-Disc template where they end up simply as {id}.epub, (as expected).

Any ideas what's going on here?

Calibre: 0.8.2
Reader: Sony PRS-300
Computer: Win7 (64-bit)

For some reason send-to-device sets the ID to a file name. I don't see why it should do that, but I am checking with Kovid before I change anything.

I suppose there could be conflicts if Send-to-Device was used from multiple different calibre libraries, since the {id} could then be duplicated.

After discussion with Kovid, we decided that changing the id to be the id instead of the file name shouldn't break anything. Change has been made and is in trunk.
