Downloaded this version, will test when I get home from work, so approx 10 hrs. Will run in debug.
"
Can you post your exact author sort plugboard command."
Metadata plugboard: (mobi any device, destination field authors):
{author_sort:re(\s\&\s,;)}
Metadata plugboard: (mobi kindle3 destination field title):
{series}{series_index:0>5.1f|-|-}{title}
Send to device: (left over from using previous Collection manager & not really used, just haven't reset to default) -
{#kindle_author}/{series:|_|/}{series_index:0>5.1f|-|-}{title}
where #kindle_author = {author_sort:re(\s\&\s,;)} [custom column in calibre as well]
"
Do you get any warning or dialog windows that states that one name will overwrite another?"
No warning that I noticed. I had cleaned up one author and re-sent new metadata, cleaner mobi etc to kindle and noticed that one of the author's entries in a collection were vastly reduced, so started trying variations of author vs author sort.
Thanks - wish I could do this now but my co-workers might not understand the importance of calibre & plugin mysteries vs patient care :)
