Fair enough. That's easily accomplished with a saved search and replace after importing the books. It's an extra step, but it will still save me time over typing the path in manually.
As for the merge vs. split, you could always do what you're doing with the file extension. Include a field in the setup to store the path field. If it's filled in, split the path and the file name. If not, combine them. This would give both BR and me what we want, plus it would have consistent behavior with the other fields in the setup.

Heh heh heh!
And if you look back further, you'll see that your idea was originally my idea, including all that complexity I mentioned, and more. (To be fair, this was kind of a "wish list" and I didn't really expect it all to be implemented)
But you're right; I did say I would probably make a custom version of the plugin for myself to add the new file types. But that's trivial; it's just a single-line list. Changing the behavior is more complicated.
Still, I'll probably do it if that's what it takes. If I'm feeling particularly ambitious I might even attempt to implement all the features on my wish list. I don't think the coding will be all that hard, but the closer the original plugin comes to my ideal, the better it serves as a template to work from.
