Just curious: Can a plugboard like you suggested above be used to alter the author metadata on Save-to-Disk instead to populate that first field properly? I'm using one to append Word and Page count to the description already (I think you might have provided the sample code in another thread way back in the day, so thanks!), but I don't really understand how the plugboard system works and if it's all the same or how to alter multiple fields (for example, is it safe to have two rules that affect any format, Save to Disk that affects different Destination fields? The warning Calibre throws when you try to do so confuses me).
You can have a metadata plugboard for the save-to-disk, just like the device ones. That will work the same. You can copy the details of the existing plugboard to it.

The alternative is to use one plugboard for "any device". That will be used for either save-to-disk or send-to-device. I think this where you are getting the warning. If you have a more specific plugboard, such as one for the KoboTouch driver, you will get an warning when adding the "any device" plugboard. It can still be added, and I'm pretty sure the more specific plugboard will be used. I don't think I have ever tried this.
