It would appear that you've lost some of the template you had - make sure you check the device configuration template, it overrides the one in Send To Device preferences. |
I just looked in Calibre, and what you posted is what I see.

You are misunderstanding doco. Here's why:
To cope with the vagaries of the different operating and file systems that calibre supports, the author and book directories, and the format file names within the library are ascii-ized and they may be truncated. These names are computed algorithmically - and the algorithm is subject to change.

That's fine, and I don't care.
I've dealt with a number of different architectures and OSes over the years, and am aware of the issues. Calibre is welcome to algorithmically change things. All I care about is that the library structure on device replicates the one in the main Calibre Library on the desktop, and that sub-directories are created based on author names and books by authors go in those sub-directories.

For Latin alphabets, diacritics such as acute and umlauts etc are discarded, other 'alphabets' are 'latin-ized', so the author iʁɛn nemiʁɔfski directory name will be iRen nemiRofski and the book 辛識平：習近平向世界展示“中國名片” directory name will be Pi Lu Ma Jia , Gan Hei Gou Dang _We.

Fine by me. I have very little stuff not in Latin alphabets, and the stuff that is isn't something I'll view on the tablet. (Among other things, I don't transfer PDFs - they are poor fits to 7" device screens. I get ePub by preference, but can handle Mobi as well because FBReader can display an assortment of formats.) Diacritics like umlauts and acute can go away in directory and title names. I don't need them to know what the book is to select it. They
will be displayed in the book itself.

It's probably 'safer' to test a template with Save to Disk.

A good thought, and I likely will, but the considerations you mentioned aren't part of the problem I'm trying to solve.
