With the Kobo I am connecting directly to add books via USB so I don't mess up my wife's Kindle workflow (send to folder). I am trying to replicate the same naming convention on the Kobo & although I can get close when I look at the actual file name in book details, the listing of books on the Kobo is only showing the actual book title & author.
Any guidance would be appreciated. I am using a Mac (26.5) & a new Kobo Libra Color.

There is no need to use author_sort.
This is what I use. It goes in Preferences > Plugins. Search for KoboTouch and then customize plugin. In the Save template section, put in the emplate posted.
Code:
books/{author} - {series} {series_index:0>2s|| - } {title}
Next, go to the Metadata, on device & advanced tab. Check Set series information.
That will set the filename correctly in a directory called books. And you will have series set in the database as well.
Oh an install the Kobo Utilities plugin. It's very much needed.
