@thosedays - the GetFileName plugin will allow you to store the original path when a Book is added - e.g. "D:\My Books\Biographies\Recollections of a Bleeding Heart - Don Watson.pdf"

Right now I can't think of a direct way you could use that with Save to Disk. A Save to Disk template is intended to be used to construct a path based on a book's metadata - i.e. the title, author, publisher, #read_date, etc columns.

I don't know if it would work with a custom column containing a regular file path like you see you above, containing colons, sloshes and dots. It might work if you converted it to an internet path, perhaps via a composite (derived) column template - e.g to
Code:
file:///D:/My%20Books/Biographies/Australia/Recollections%20of%20a%20Bleeding%20Heart%20-%20Don%20Watson.pdf
But the GetFileName plugin will give you something you can work with .
