Question Saving Books: Make folder using only last part of hierarchical tags?

Hey, is it possible to Save Books to Device with a folder system that uses hierarchical tags for one of the folder levels, but only taking the final 'part' of the tag?

Quote:
ie:

if genre = speculative.science_fiction
then, given a file structure of
(genre)/(author)/(title)
it would be:
science_fiction/Bujold, Lois McMaster/Miles Errant.epub
(instead of speculative.science_fiction/Bujold, Lois McMaster/Miles Errant.epub)

and

genre = speculative.fantasy.urban_fantasy
--> urban_fantasy/Butcher, Jim/Storm Front.epub
(Instead of speculative.fantasy.urban_fantasy/Butcher, Jim/Storm Front.epub)


Why? I'm trying to cut out one of my custom columns that I need for in-calibre organization, but is unnecessary on my reader. All the contents of Column B are essentially subheadings of the contents of Column A.


Is there any way to tell calibre to do this? I know you can tell it to use shortened versions of authors, etc.




Extra: I'm trying to figure out how to change the reader that calibre uses by default when opening a book from within the program. Anyone know how? I did this once, but I can't remember it.
