I wasn't able to find a previous answer to this, so here it goes!

I think I know how to change file and folder names when saving to disk.
I have a book with 2 authors but I want only the first one be used in the folder/file name when saving to disk

The author_sort and the author fields outputs as

Code:

Doe, John & Jane, Mary

but I want it to just outputs the first author as in

Code:

Doe, John

Saving to disk template:
using

Code:

{author_sort}/{author_sort:.80}{title:.60| - |}/{author:.70}{series:.25| - |}{series_index:0>2s| - |}{title:.50| - |}

Code:

Doe, John & Jane, Mary\Doe, John & Jane, Mary - My own history\John Doe & Mary Jane - My collection - 01 - My own history.pdf

Note: In metadata editor I do have for authors

Code:

John Doe & Mary Jane

and the author sort field as

Code:

Doe, John & Jane, Mary

Is it supposed to have just one name in the author sorted field?
