Thanks, I do use Calibre, which does exactly what I want using a metadata plugboard, for the Nickel side of things. However, it does not show up in the KoReader side.

in Koreader a file shows "Title - author.epub"
in Nickel a file shows "Series - # - Title" with author below, under :books:

Maybe it's because you use Save to File instead of Send to Device, don't you?

I could make author subfolders and that could shorten the titles.

What I have now could be improved, but it has been working fine. The file structure developed over time and not much effort went into it, lazy I guess. I have the tools to clean it up but not much motivation.

PS; If you use calibre, it can do it for you.
