That's the logic I was expecting, but what I got ended up with final paths like this
c:\
longer author name\book (-----) 1\book (-----) 1.epub
c:\
longer author name\book (---) 2\book (---) 2.epub
c:\
longer author name\book (-----------) 3\book (-----------) 3.epub
and
c:\author name\book (---) 4\book (---) 4.epub
c:\author name\book (---------) 5\book (---------) 5.epub
Essentially the book with the longest title (and as such with the longest path) was put into the folder with the author's name truncated to MORE characters.
That's why I posted to ask to begin with. If it was simply that the longer titles were in the folder with the author's name truncated smaller, that would have made sense, so I'd have understood what was happening.
