I am currently using two templates:

Template one:

{authors}/{title}/{title} - {authors}

for books with no series

and template two:

{authors}/{series}/{series_index} - {title} - {authors}

for books with series.

The thing is that every time I have to change the template I have to got to Preferences, change the template and save.

I was wondering if it could be possible to choose the template at the moment of saving to disk, something like, "Save to disk using... -> Template one".

I don't know if a plugin exist already for doing this.

Another thing, where is the list of recently used templates stored? I'd like to clean it up and just keep the two mentioned templates - right now there are about 9 different templates.


Many thanks!

Mine (coded by chaley) is a little more complex:

1)Series are not all by the same Author (so starting with Author is a poor idea)
2)There is a count limit on top level file/folder names
3)My device booklist is shown by folder. 8 entries at a time. (sort is only by Alpha or Date modified) I use Alpha
So I use:
00NoSeries (rises to the top of the list) folder when no series
and
<first_letter>-series (to group the series that start with the same letter) when it has a series name

program: 
test(	field('series'), 
	strcat(
		substr(field('series'), 0, 1),
		template("-series/{series}/{series_index:0>2s}-{title}_{id}_{authors}")
	),
	template("00noseries/{author_sort[0]}_authors/{authors}/{title}_{id}-{authors}")
)
