I just updated to 0.7.10 (great job everyone!), and have a question about the naming scheme used when transferring books directly to my JetBook Lite.

When I transfer books to the main device memory, an Author (last name, first) folder appears in the root of the Books menu on the device. In that folder individual books appear in the format Author Name#Book_Title. There is no underscore in the folder name, just a comma delimiter. In the file name, there is a space between the author's first and last name, but underscores replace spaces in the title. I know that the # is supposed to display the author name and title on separate lines of the device display, but that doesn't seem to be working.

If I send books to the SD card instead of the device's main memory, it places them in a Books folder, which then shows up in the root on the device along with all the authors that are in the devices memory.

Is there a way to customize Calibre so the books transferred to the SD card in the device get saved at the root level of the card? Also, is there a way to adjust the naming scheme to avoid the # and underscores? Or make them work the way the device is supposed to show them? I'll gladly try any suggestions. Thanks!
