Duplicate books

Hi there Chaley!

This is the new thread about the duplicate books (orig thread here).

I've noticed it happening to a few authors.

For example, Nelson DeMille.

I have Nelsom DeMille listed in my authors column as "Nelson Demille". No capitalized "M" on his last name. The format came from Calibre's own metadata downloader.

When I pushed the books to CC, It generated two directories. One named "Nelson Demille" and one "Nelson DeMille".

"DeMille" is the correct form of the name, but since all of my books of him are written as "Demille", I don't know why CC capitalized the letter.

Another author was Jeanne DuPrau. Although it only happened to one of his books. CC created two directories: "Jeanne Duprau" and "Jeanne DuPrau".

I forgot the other one. I just deleted the name formats that didn't match the one on my library.

This is the template that I use for the file names and folders:
Code:
{author_sort}/{series}{series_index:0>3.2f| | - }{title} - {authors}
Hope this info helps!

Regards,
Harold
