Hi,
thank you for the suggestion, I tried that but it doesn't recognize the series now. When I opened the Preferences dialog, I found this:
(?P<title>.+) - (?P<author>[^_]+)
I replaced it with this:
(?P<series>.+) - (?P<title>[^_]+)
I'm using the portable version found on the PortableApps website, if that makes a difference.
How would I need to name a file for cases where I'd like to see the series index and author names, for book where I want that distinction? Also, is there a way to minimize the number of folders/subfolders I get in the "Saving books" dialog?
ETA I did some poking around, and discovered that
(?P<series>[^_]+) (?P<series_index>[0-9]+) - (?P<title>.+) - (?P<author>[^_]+)
seems to work but only if I choose to have Calibre use file names as it's source of metadata. What will happen if I import a book which has metadata in the file? Will it be ignored? Also, can I have a different scheme for files named in a different way? I have some files where author is listed first; will the file be read in the correct way?
