In Calibre there is a field called "title". That's where the book title goes. It's what shows up on my device (yes, I answered my device type before as well, I have a Palm T|X).

I created a custom_title field which includes abbreviated series, title and author and stays with the 26 character limit of the PDB, though I do believe that 26 character limit actually refers to the FILE name (the Palm doesn't like spaces either, so that was a consideration as well).

Using plugboards, I have set my custom_title field to replace the title field in the meta data in "save to disk" and "convert to PDB" actions.

When I transfer a book to my Palm, I get the title field, NOT my custom_title field. Just so we're REALLY CLEAR, I'll say it again. The title shows up on my Palm's book list instead of the custom_title field I created. That means, instead of getting series, title and author showing on my Palm screen, I get the title of the book.

This is exactly what I have been telling you since the very start of this thread. If you had actually read through the thread instead of just the latest posts, I do believe this would have been clear many posts ago. The question hasn't changed.

Can you paste your save to Disk template inside code tags (the # mark icon)
