cbook7 · 06-13-2019, 04:10 PM

Hi,

I need to ensure that 'Save to disk' and 'Send To Device' use the same filename that Calibre assigns to books in the library.

The format seems to be:

book_title (up to X chars max) - 1st_author (up to Y chars max)

and characters '?' and ':' (possibly others?) are replaced by an underscore

From what I can tell this could be via a Template, but is sadly way over my head. I'd be very grateful if anyone could provide a recipe for this. If X and Y are not known leave them as x an y. I'll have a play around to figure them out.

Many thanks,

Cal
