For reference: I use a rooted NST with ReLaunch as my file manager. It displays simple folders and filenames. And I LOVE Calibre. Awesome work.
I've been having problems getting filenames to save correctly when I either save to disk or send to my device. Let's say I have a book named "The Librarian". The title sort is then "Librarian, The". When I save it to disk with the {title} field, it instead uses the title sort with the comma. Yuck--I'd really prefer to see the title as normal when I browse for it. Hmmm... after much searching and delving through the Calibre documentation, I discovered
swap_around_commas(). Yay! So I set it up and it fixed that problem... while introducing another. Any title with a comma in it is mixed up, such as:
"I, Robot" ==> "Robot I"
"Miles, Mystery and Mayhem" ==> "Mystery and Mayhem Miles"
Ugh, not good. After searching these forums I finally stumbled upon another piece of the puzzle: tweaks.py. I set
save_template_title_series_sorting = 'strictly_alphabetic' and found that it solved the "Librarian, The" problem I had earlier. But... it didn't fix the problem with commas in titles. I've tried with and without
swap_around_commas(). Sigh...
Is there any way to have Calibre save the files with
exactly what is in the title field, no more, no less? Why does it insist on moving things around when I explicitly state I want the {title}?
