Re: CC Templates/Content Server pull/Wireless Device Push ...
Confusion reigns and I have to confess my head's in a bit of a spin with all this. For day-to-day purposes I normally only use the Wireless Device transfer method but with alpha-tester hat on I thought I'd better try the Content Server method as well. (CC Cloud is not a practical option for me)
Calibre GUI Customize Smart_Device_App has Save template:
{author_sort} - {series}{series_index:0>2s| | - }{title}
I've also set up a new CC template on Note3/Android 5.0/CC5.0.0.4:
{author_sort} - {series}{series_index:%02d| | - }{title}
In CC Settings - Filenames, I have checked only:
- Use CC template everywhere
- Replace existing book files
If I transfer 2 books from the same Series, one via Wireless Device the other via Content Server I correctly get a 'matched pair' of filenames, namely
Wireless: Galbraith, Robert - Cormoran Strike 01 - The Cuckoo's Calling.epub
Content Server: Galbraith, Robert - Cormoran Strike 02 - The Silkworm.epub
... so far, so good. However, as I don't use CC Cloud, according to the
FAQ here I should be able to use Solution 2.
So I tried changing CC Settings - Filenames to check only:
- Use calibre's file names
- Replace existing book files
Now transferring the same 2 books I no longer get a matched pair of filenames I get
Wireless: Galbraith, Robert - Cormoran Strike 01 - The Cuckoo's Calling.epub
Content Server: The Silkworm - Robert Galbraith.epub
i.e. the Content Server has reverted to {title} - {authors}
ETA: The CC template I created is still there
Is Solution 2 no longer an option or have I missed something obvious?
