The first 2 plugboards were taken from this thread:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=100949
1st one apparently "Show author name as Initial and Surname (Kindle)" (
Kindle/Kobo Metadata 'section', last plugboard)
2nd one is about series in the title "Put series into the title, using either initials or a shortened form. Strip leading articles from the series name (any) (inspired by Gary_M_Mugford)" (
General Metadata 'section')
The 3rd plugboard was suggested by you in this thread, as I said above.
I don't have the knowledge to argue with you what these plugboards were supposed to do, but they seem to work nicely, except for the 'dot problems' I mentioned in the first post. And using 2 plugboard to authors actually solved the problem, by removing the dots on authors' names.
I was kind of satified with this, but as I pointed out, I accidentally discovered that when I copied the files directly (in windows explorer) to kindle instead of using calibre 'send to device' the dots do work properly. The downside of doing this, is that I lose the plugboards features (auto-sorting the authors and including the series on title).
As I said, I'm pretty much convinced that the best solution is to keep the plugboards as they are right now, and let go of the dots, but I was just curious on what might be going wrong with the conversion while 'sending to device' through kindle, and thought someone could give some explanation by looking at the plugboards which I think are the actual cause of the problem (some syntax error, maybe?)
Anyway, don't overthink this, it's somehow insignificant issue, and you solved it by presenting the 'dot removal' plugboard.
Thanks for the attention given to this matter though
