I'm trying to export to a holding folder on my Mac, for transfer to the IRiver. I set the preferences for saving books to:
{#genre}/{series}/{author_sort}/{title}/{title} - {authors}
However, Calibre truncates the #genre names and author names as it exports. So "Health" gets divided into 3 folders for "Health," "Heth," and "Hh." "Sharon Heller" becomes "Hellaron."
Some other posts suggest that this can happen because the patha are too long. I tried shortening the outside folder names [Calibre Transfer became Transfer, etc.], recovered a couple letters in some folder names, but didn't solve the problem.
The e-reader can't handle too many items in each directory, so it needs folders containing folders, so I need separate genre, sometimes series, and author listings.
I'd probably have to export to my home directory to avoid truncation, and I don't want to do that.
