Stargehzer · 10-01-2016, 12:20 PM

I've set Calibre with this template, {authors} - {series_index:0>2s} {title} so that when I 'Save to Disk' (save to a hard drive) it renames the file as 'Author - 03 Title. epub', and that works great!

I often email books to a hotmail address and I want them renamed in the same way, but can't make it work.

Under, 'Preferences / Sending Books to Devices' I've set up the same template. But it's not working.

Under, 'Preferences / Metadata Plugboards' I set up a plugboard as, Format = epub, Device = email, Template = {authors} - {series_index:0>2s} {title}, Destination Field = title, but that's not helping either.

Would someone please point out the error of my ways?
