NickKnaque · 10-21-2019, 08:51 AM

I use Calibre on Windows (7 & 10) and on Linux, in all of those environments I want to save my C++ books to disk leaving C++ as it appears in the title, instead of converting to C__ as it does by default. (I hate this!)

Is there a tweak or something to manage this? I'd rather not hack the Python source as I like to run from exe.

Also, I'd like to have the : in book titles changed to a comma "," (instead of _) both in metadata and in the filename on disk.

All help gratefully received.
