Saving to... format

Mich06 · 08-10-2020, 10:24 PM

Hello !

Could you help me with the Saving to... option when right-clicking on a book ?

The format I use is :
{authors} - {title}

The book : "Robert Heinlein, La Planète Rouge"
is saved as thus: Robert Heinlein - Planète Rouge, La.epub

So it seems that the {authors} field is correct, because I want to have the First Name of the author fist (otherwise I'd use {authors_sort}, but I'd like to put the articles in the titles first, and... the {title} field is always set on the sort order of the titles, not the title as it appears in the regular column...
So how can I save that book as : Robert Heinlein - La Planète Rouge.epub ?

Tried to mess with custom columns, but I can't find a solution... any help appreciated.

keywords: Strictly alphabetical
Place to look: preferences: Tweaks

Then you will need to force Title to Update (recaculate) the title sort
to do that, select all the books that need this: tap 'E" (bulk metadata edit: Tick the box near the bottom: OK

Thank you for your quick answer. It works !

Another question : is there a way to do the same trick by using the function raw_data in the formula ?

Use 'title_sort' instead of 'title'.
