All,

I was stuck with my huge e-books collection until I found Calibre. Using Calibre together with the software called "ISBN renamer" is a great way for e-book management. Now I'm on the way to put my messy collection in order. Thanks Kovid for the great software.

Please help me with my question:

When I finish adding books and press "Ctrl-D" to download their metadata and covers, Calibre by default saves the book as follows: Folder (author_sort) -> Folder (title) -> Filename (title - authors), i.e the template is: {author_sort}/{title}/{title} - {authors}.

I would like to shorten the path by changing the above to:{Publisher}/{title}/{ISBN}. How can this task be done?

Thank you.
