May not be a good idea to use {author} in the Author-link field.
  • some of the file systems that calibre supports would disallow "Irčne Némirovsky" as a folder name - I think.
  • forces you to have the folder name as an exact match what's in calibre metadata, if you correct a name in calibre then you must rename the Author info folder, otherwise when you click on Author Name nothing happens.
  • implies you can't link pseudonyms to a common folder - eg Abu Mazen (occasional Journalist) to the Mahmoud Abbas (politician) folder.

@cybmole - my epiphany on this came when I realised my desire to "keep it all in the calibre library" would be better expressed as "have it all accessible from the calibre library".

Didn't think of that.
