[eschatology]

hi all,

i've just started using Calibre to manage a few books, but i'm having an odd issue with the export (‘Save to disc’) feature, in that it's dropping letters from the filename.

for example, i have an ebook (PDF) which shows in Calibre with the author “Lewis Call” (correct) and the title “Structures of desire: Postanarchist kink in the speculative fiction of Octavia Butler and Samuel Delany” (also correct) –*both the author and title were already correct in the PDF metadata so i didn't edit them.

but when i export this to disk, by selecting all books then ‘Save to disc’, Calibre puts it in a directory called “Calwis” with a filename of “Structures of desire_ Postanarchist kn of Octavia Butler and Samuel Delany.pdf”, neither of which are correct.

i have another book (also a PDF) with the title “Revolution and Other Writings: A Political Reader” and the author “Gustav Landauer & Gabriel Kuhn & Richard Day”, but Calibre exports this to “Landauer, Gustav & Kbriel & Day, Richard/Revolution and Other s_ A Political Reader.pdf”.

i didn't see any option in preferences that might cause this—am i missing something, or is this a bug, or something else?

in case it matters, i'm using Calibre 6.23.0 on macOS 13.4.1. (i had an older version of Calibre, but updated to see if it would fix this problem, which it didn't).

thanks!
