New to this whole Calibre thang.
I created a new hierarchical column named genre
I set up my books with the new column i.e. SciFi.Aszimov.Foundation
All works fine in the tags browsing etc.
I added an save template as follows to convert the column periods to slashes:
{#genre:re(\.,/)}/{title}
If I save a book to disk, the directory structure is created as expected.
SciFi/Azimov/Foundation/bookname
I created the same 'Save template' to my device configuration options.
(Use sub directories is checked)
If I save to device, the book is saved to the reader in the directory:
Sony_Reader/media/books/SciFi/Azimov/bookname
When I disconnect, the book appears in the reader, but no collections ?
I've deleted the books.db file, reset the device etc.
The whole idea is to create collections within sub collections. What am I missing?
Thanks. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
