But it does not trim the author/author sort. Filename/path length limits can and will be exceeded.
For sending to a Kobo, putting the series/series index in the filename is, to me, basically useless since the Kobo GUI will happily display the series/series index. All it does is to increase your chances of exceeding the filename/path limit.
One example would be The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, Volume One, 1929-1964 which using your untrimmed names and series gives me a total of 567 characters:
Code:
Robert Silverberg (ed) & Stanley G_ Weinbaum & John W_ Campbell & Lester Del Rey & Robert A_ Heinlein & Theodore Sturgeon & Isaac Asimov & A_ E_ Van Vogt & Lewis Padgett & Clifford D_ Simak & Fredric Brown & Murray Leinster & Judith Merril & Cordwainer Smith & Ray Bradbury & C_ M_ Kornbluth & Richard Matheson & Fritz Leiber & Anthony Boucher & James Blish & Arthur C_ Clarke & Jerome Bixby & Tom Godwin & Alfred Bester & Damon Knight & Daniel Keyes & Roger Zelazny - The Science Fiction Hall of Fame 1 - The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, Volume One, 1929-1964.epub
Sadly calibre will truncate the path and filename to stay below 240 characters.
Using my trimmed without series gives me 100 characters:
Code:
Silverberg, Robert/The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, Volume One, 1929-1964 - Robert Silverberg (ed).epub
Using my trimmed with series gives me 122 characters (I did shorten the series to SF Hall of Fame when I imported the book to calibre):
Code:
Silverberg, Robert/[SF Hall of Fame 1] - The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, Volume One, 1929-1964 - Robert Silverberg (ed).epub
And yes, I do like having all the authors in an anthology shown to make it easier to search.
