Hi,

I guess this is intentional, but I see that when using Calibre to create an EPUB catalogue of books in the library, the resulting EPUB has today's date as the author. I assume this means that the author will change on a daily basis.

I export my library to the cloud (for syncing to other devices), and use author name(s) as part of the book path/folder.

It would be great if there could be an option to provide a fixed string, say 'Calibre', or some other configurable string to use as author, so that the resulting catalogue is always stored in the same place.

Hope this makes sense, and can be considered as a future enhancement.

Many thanks.
