Save into Folders A-Z - Help!

scot628 · 05-25-2012, 05:05 PM

Hi, I hope you can help.

I am a novice at this but I found a code (in this forum somewhere I think) that allowed me to have Calibre set up so that when I saved books it would save them into A-Z folders based on the Authors last name, then Author then Series.

SO for JRR Tolkien Lord of the Rings it would have save and create a folder "T", then have a sub folder within it "Tolkien, JRR" then the books by series 1 - Fellowship of the Ring, 2 Two Towers etc.

But i crashed my pc and lost the string and have no idea how to get it back. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Well I use this but it gives first letter of first name

Ebooks/{tags:re([\.],/!)|!|}/{authors[0]}/{authors}/{series}/{series_index:0>5.2f| |-}{title}

So what you are looking for would be I think

{author_sort[0]}/{authors}/{series}/{series_index:0>5.2f| |-}{title}
