Terisa de Morgan - I am totally & utterly confused, you tell me here I have the PI wrongly configured, yet you issue a new release to correct the problem I reported.
A 'file path' by definition includes its location, if the column specifier called File Path now means the File Location you should give it a new label.
I am 99.99% certain that the way I had it (see attachment 2 in post #71) worked up until Dec 24. I have hundreds of books added before that date that are OK. I am 99.99% certain I didn't change the PI configuration on that date, but I did install version 0.0.7 on that date.
The way I had it configured made sense semantically. IMO asking for 'file path' and then putting the column name in a variable called 'file name' when there's another variable called 'file path' is somewhat bizarre/weird, perverse even
If the current purpose of the File Path column specifier is to specify the File Location I suggest the configuration dialogue be changed accordingly - see attachment.
For aesthetic reasons I would also swap the Without Path and With Path radio buttons. Or, better yet replace them with a "Put full file path in File Name column: " check box. IIRC the best practice UI convention is to use check boxes for either/or choices, and radio buttons when there are between three and seven options to choose from. I appreciate why you might not want to do this.
