Wheel of Time, The - 11 - Knife of Dreams.epub

Any other ideas? I do have the latest version of calibre portable. It updated last night.

Mmmm, I tried this, applied the new template and it worked just the why you wanted it. And not even a restart needed.

Though I made my template like this:

{author_sort}/{title}/{series_index:0>2s|| - }{series:|| - }{title}

See picture. The epub in the title folder will have the title like you want it.


Edit: Even leaving out '{author_sort}/{title}/' and only having the template like this:

{series_index:0>2s|| - }{series:|| - }{title}

worked fine on my end.

You are sure the template is standing under 'preferences ->Saving books to disk'? And sure you looked in the right folder where you saved it?

Otherwise I have no idea.
