I have tag set for all my books in Calibre that are supposed to be on my reader. That way I can compile a catalog for all the books on my reader.
So it was not a problem to set up a new template for saving books to disk
Code:
{author_sort:.1}/{authors}/{series:|# |}/{series_index:0>3s|| - }{title} - {authors}/{series_index:0>3s|| - }{title} - {authors}
I think this still works in PB626. I have played with a 626 before Christmas, as I was preparing a few units for my friends (installing coolreader and the like) and I would have noticed this missing feature.
Have a better look at the options menu. |
Thanks for the advice. I am not really enchanted with having to rebuild all my directory tree for thousands of books (of course calibre would help), but it would work.
Generally speaking, why does Pocketbook dump useful features on new products and firmwares? They may look for new customer profiles, less power users and more "Apple users", that is "we do not offer choice because we know what is good for you". But I do not believe offering extra features can make the product less attractive.
Not sure if posts on this thread have any influence on Pocketbook developers though.
