Hi! I've just started using Calibre to organize my ebooks. I can't plug me ereader in directly (the ezreader pocket pro has issues ejecting from a Mac), so I use the Save to Disk feature to save to the sd card.

I've set the file structure to save as

Code:

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

which works well for 99% of my books. Usually I tag them with the predominant genre in my custom column, and that organizes them well. But some books fit two genres equally well, so I tag them as both.

I would like such books to be filed in multiple locations (ie: "fantasy" folder and "romance" folder), rather than creating a new folder (ie: "fantasy,romance") which is less than ideal for navigation, organization, and tidiness. (Also I would like to be able to do this with books that have multiple authors.)

To me, the small size of ebook files mean it's well worthwhile to have a few duplicates here and there to make it easier to find and tidier things in my ereader.

So is there a way to set Calibre to save books to multiple folders rather than in a single hybrid folder when saving to disk?
