Hi there,

I have a bunch of cbz and cbr formatted comics and I would like them sent to a specific folder on my device. I would also like to create series-specific sub-folders and place the comics inside there (The viewer I use makes it very hard to find things unless they are organized on the file system, but it's really good at displaying comics). Example:

/Comics/

Civil War/

Civil War - 01 - The Amazing Spider-Man (1999-2013) #529
Civil War - 02 - The Amazing Spider-Man (1999-2013) #530

Buffy-Angel/

Buffy-Angel - 01 - Angel: The Curse

I see that I can create a format specific destination folder in the "configure this device" menu. So I put "Comics" there.

And I have created a plugboard (unfortunately there is no cbr or cbz format in the plugboard, so I am forced to use "any format") which renames the file appropriately.

{series}{series_index:0>2s| – | – }{title}

... for both title and title_sort

Where can I define the {series} sub-folder? And if I define it in the plugboard, what happens to my mobi files (since I am forced to use "any") when there is not a series?

I'd like to send mobi files to "Books" and have the Kindle app pick those up. So I assume I would configure the device to send those formats to there. I don't care too much about the folder structure under books, because the Kindle app doesn't show that organization.
