loss of collections using and not using split character
I've had no trouble with the plugin and only noticed this "collection creation" issue recently. I'm hoping someone can figure out why the plugin is creating some collections this way as I'm a bit baffled. I've only discovered 2 authors where this is occurring but haven't yet had time to compare every author's results under the different collection scenarios.
example #1: author Jory Strong (2 titles are from anthologies)
If I use "author" and split on "&": collection with 31 entries (matches calibre)
"author sort" and split on "&": 1 entry
"author sort" and no split (or split on ";"): 29 entries
custom column using author_sort and split on ";": 1 entry
example #2: author Christine Feehan (1 title from anthology)
author with split "&": 21 entries (matches calibre)
author sort and split on "&": 20 entries
author sort and no split (or split on ";"): 20 entries single & 1 entry as line of multiple authors where Feehan is listed as first author
custom column using author_sort and split on ";": no collection created
My preference would be to use author sort and split but I'm currently using author and split since the results match up with my calibre database.
Using K3 - windows 7 - calibre 0.8.1 - kindle collections plugin 1.6.1c
I have a metadata plugboard recipe that changes "author FN LN" to "author sort results LN, FN" and replaces " & " with ";" (mobi files for kindle are created using author not author sort).
I also have a template under "sending books to device" that creates the calibre folders by author LN, FN then subfolders by series or not...the primary author calibre folder is LN, FN;LN, FN if multiple authors.
Thoughts, advice?
Thanks
