Please explain where the forward slash '/' is. Is it in the filename or in Metadata of an exported book?
How do you 'export' the book. Do you use "save to disk" function? Do you use "send to device"?
Please check template in the "Saving books to disk". This is an example of working template for filenames:
Code:
{author_sort:.1}/{authors}/{series:|# |}/{series_index:0>3s|| - }{title} - {authors}/{series_index:0>3s|| - }{title} - {authors}
Please check Metadata plugboards if you do not have some template set up here.
If that doesn't work, can you upload an example of such file for me to check and send me PM with the address? I will try to import the file into my instance of Calibre and see whether I can reproduce the problem with your book.
It is possible to create filename beginning with a forward slash or containing other funky characters on Linux. Not even difficult. It is just very strongly discouraged - so very few Unix/Linux manuals write about how to do it. |
Thanks, but many of your questions were answered in my post. I have a completely vanilla setup, recently installed. The problem was in Ubuntu, but I recently installed Mint, and it's still there. I have more information in my next post.
