Folks -
I use caliber for my ebook catalog; however, I am running into issues with long file names and long directory names. Due to the latter, I am trying to develop a naming convention for my ebooks filenames and related directory. I am looking for suggestions and what other users have found "what works".

My currently solution is - create directory labeled with book's ISBN, and epub file labeled 'title-author's last name'.

Code:

/home/user00/library
  |--'1234567890123'
  |     |--'the-rockrats--bova'
  |
  |--'1234567890124'
        |---'leviathans-of-jupiter--bova'

This way I know directory structure and home directory is "x" amount of characters, with an unknown amount of characters afterwards.
