This may not be a problem directly related to fanfictiondownloader. I use summaries in place of titles- with so many fics, a title tells me nothing and I don't like having to enter into the book to view the metadata page (I'm using a Nook Simple Touch). If I use a summary as a title, I can doubletap the book to bring up the full book title and there's less tapping overall involved. Yes, I'm that lazy.

I'm noticing if the summary title is too long, it messes up the folder names. For example, let's say I have my folders set like this on the Nook...

Fandom-Author(subfolder)-Series(subfolder)-Summary(collection within a folder)

Let's say the fandom is Magnificent Seven. If the Summary is too long, the fandom's folder will be named something like Magnificent Se...almost like there's a limited amount of characters and to fill in the summary it has to take characters from the fandom, if that makes any sense at all. Sometimes the author or series is cut off as well. I'm using save to disc to transfer my folder and subfolder settings.

I don't know if this is a fanfictiondownloader issue or an issue with a Nook setting...I suspect it may be a Nook setting, but I thought I'd bring it up just in case. I'm probably the only trying to get summaries to display in this fashion though. I have yet to figure out exactly where the limit is before the folders start to cut off...it seems to be a combination of both the fandom/author/series characters plus the summary. If I keep the summary to a single sentence it seems to work okay.

Hope I explained that at least vaguely clearly...
