Interesting.

This is my setup: I have Calibre installed in my normal C:\ drive and on my D:\ drive I have two folders, E-Books Input & E-Books Output.

Say I have an epub and I want to clear up formatting and also make a mobi, I copy the file to E-Books Input and when I get done I save both files to E-Books Output.

What I was able to repeat is that if I save both at the same time I'll get this:

filename.epub & filname (1).mobi, and I get this every time for this particular file. If, however I save them one at a time then I get normal file names.

This does NOT happen with all files, it happens infrequently but seems to be consistent with some files.

Trying to use {id} as BetterRed suggested gave me 6728.epub & 6754.mobi and this is consistent whether I save the files together or one at time.

I suppose this proves that the problem IS related to the Author/Books fields.
