These custom fields got my imagination working...
One problem I have, is that my various readers all use a different way of displaying books.
On my WinCE/WinMobile devices, I use Mobipocket. I find using categories on Mobipocket is not easy if you've more categories than your screen is high (and on my PDA, that means no more than 10 categories!). So, I added my OPF files so that the "dc:title" is filled with (let's phrase it with Calibre names):
{author_sort} - {series} {series_index} - {title}
On my BBMini, I don't care what the metatags are filled with, it won't read them anyway (but show the filename instead).
The Sony does categories a bit more friendly, so I'm looking into that. But, the long titles can become annoying in that case. So, I'd like to make my title more like
{series} {series_index} - {title}
But, I don't want two different source OPF files!
Now, Calibre does make an OPF file next to my book file. Wouldn't it be nice, if I were able to say what fields would be used to fill in those basic OPF fields (author and title, mostly)?
so, something like:
<dc:title>{series} {series_index} - {title}</dc:title>
<dc:creator opf:file-as="{author_sort}" opf:role="aut">{author}</dc:creator>
