I have a similar issue to this. I don't actually use Calibre to organize my eBooks -- I only use it for conversions. As a default, the filenames of converted eBooks are saved as "Title - Author First Name Last Name". This means that I have to go back through and rename the files as "Author Last, First - Title", which is tedious. I don't care about having specially named folders or anything - I just want the filenames to come out in my format so I'm not doing extra work.

I have gone into the preferences for Add/Save and changed the "Saving Books" template to: {author_sort}/{author_sort} - {title}. But Calibre seems to ignore this and continues to save files in the original way.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance.
