I've already got a source template on the save to disk screen, so that's not the answer.
I can
see the filename as I'm doing a save to disk before dragging the file into my install program. I have to format the filename as it is limited to 26 characters (mentioned this before). This is what the file name looks like. Bear in mind, I got
exactly the same thing as a title on the palm before I started working with my custom title and source template. The idea that it might be getting the title from the name of the file is pretty weak.

So let's apply some basic (programmer's) logic to this.
Is there any other field that contains the title? As far as I can tell, the only field to actually contain the content of the title is "title". If Calibre isn't updating the metadata with the custom title I've designated, the Palm would show the original title. That seems by far the most likely reason for the title I'm seeing on my Palm, the failure of an update to the title field by Calibre's save to disk.
To test to see if it's the pdb format, I'm going to convert a book to epub and save it to disk. Then I'm going to add the book to Calibre, save to disk and view it with a pc based reader and see what the metadata looks like. It's a place to start.
