Output File format

Shykat · 07-31-2022, 10:16 PM

Hi!

I've updated my Calibre recently to 5.44 and I was using a much older version prior to that. I have noticed with this version that I am hoping someone can help me with.

When I click on Save only epub format to disk in a single folder, the resulting file come out in the format of:
[series name] - book title.epub.

What is missing is the author's name... in the previous version I was using, it created the file as:
Author Name - [Series Title] - book title.epub.

What setting do I need to change or add to correct this?

Thank you!

Change the template to include / exclude what you desire.
Preferences: Save to disk:

remember, the file name generated must be unique otherwise it will overwrite the one that has the same name. You can only have ONE of any extension.

So, in Preferences, the string would look like:

{author-sort}/authors} - {series} - title ?

I remember, in the old version I was using, when I clicked Save to Disc, it actually saved into the Calibre output directory but ALSO to a working directory that I had set up.

In the Calibre output directory, it was in the author directory and then the title was: author name - [Series] - title

I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing in this new version. I like having the file saved in the Calibre output directory but also want it saved in my working directory, which is why I was using "Save only EPUB format to disk in a single folder".

Does that all make sense?

put curly braces around TITLE as well
ALL fields get curly braces (unless in a function that uses names)
