I've set things up to send books to: Books/{author_sort}/{title}
I'd like all book transfered to be placed under A Books sub-foder. Call it a books jail. I don't like to see multiple folders in the drive of the root, keep things tidy.
It's been like that since, practically, day one.

Now, after a while I haven't look at the folder structure, I found some books in the wrong place, for example:
E:\Bs\Rece\Cormen, Thomas H. & Leiserson, Cest, Ronald L. & Stein, Clifford\Introduction to Algorithms, Third Edition - Thoma E. Leiserson & Ronald L. Rivest & Clifford Stein.pdf
I have no idea where it got that "Rece" part. I have a custom column I used with a shelves value, and the value for this book is "Reference". Is it b/c it's very long so it truncates?

E:\Books\Fiction\Roth, Philip\plot against America, The - Philip Roth.kepub.epub
Most of the book are located in Books/{shelf}/{sort author}, although I'm not using this folder structure.
Also, If I delete the books, disconnect/refresh the Libra/Connect and transfer the books again they end up in the same place they were, ignoring my settings, it seems.

The plugboard only have a couple of default KoboTouchExtended entries to handle authors and authors_sort. Not something I made or changed.
I'm using KoboTouchExtended, the latest Calibre (5.35), everything is up to date. I tried reinstalling and the repair option - that didn't seem to change anything.

This is driving me crazy.
