With this template "calibre/{author_sort}/{title}" I get:
First folder: ce
Second folder: Alberto de Vega Luna & Rafael de las Heras del Dedo & Josep Lluis spinilla & Cristina Santa Cecilia & Salvador de la Puente Gonzalez
Filename: Historias h Edition).epub

With this template "calibre/{author_sort:.50}/{title:.100}" I get:
First folder: calibre
Second folder: Alberto de Vega Luna & Rafael de las Heras del Ded
Filename: Historias de developers (Spanish Edition).epub

So the first template break my main folder "calibre" and creates a folder "ce" in the root of the device. Ok, book is found and can be read, but I dislike it is created in a folder different than what I want!

Thx for your suggestions ;-)
OK, that makes sense. The calibre length trimming is on the full path, so it is affecting the root directory you want to use. Skipping a too directory like this would make sense, but I don't think there is a way to do it. I don't use a root directory like this, so I hadn't noticed.
