I never used sending books to Moon+, I have the last Multipie (chaley) version of Calibre Companion, so that is my front end to Moon.
Let see if I can clear some of the plugboard fog
Plugboards are for devices that DO NOT use the filename, but use data stored in the book (Calibre updates the sent copy ONLY)
Kindles have no series or index
So we use the METADATA plugboard to wedge additional data during transfer
YOUR CALIBRE LIBRARY IS NOT TOUCHED
so i set up a plugboard to do a wedge
format is AZW3 and the device driver name is Kindle2
I insert the series Index into {title} (My Kindle 4 still let me use
collections for the {series}
Source Template:
Code:
{series_index:0>5.2f|| - }{title}
5.2f makes it always have 2 integers and 2 fraction 23.24 (my way of saying vols 23-24 ) so 23-24 - the title
and the
destination is {title} (on the device)
Destination has a pulldown of the allowed places the Devices driver allows, so make sure you DO set a device instead of 'any' if possible
The rest of the template is very similar to what you would use as a file name to send
