Add Series info to Book Title?

kelemvor · 06-12-2016, 07:33 PM

Is there an easy way to add the Series Info to the title of a book?

I have a bunch of books in a series and when I view them in all the ebooks I've tried I can get some to show the books based on the series but they don't actually show the # in the series each book is.

If I can bulk edit the titles of the books to somehow take the current title and add the series Name and Number to the end, that'd be great.

I know I cna do that easily when I Save the books off, but I'm not sure if I can do it to the actual Title Metadata itself.

Thanks!

series info is in 2 parts (template language shown)

Code:

{series}/{series_index}-{title}

(the orange / makes a folder for the Series and puts the Titles inside with the series Index in front so it Alpha sorts)
If your reader uses filenames: the template belongs in Send to Device or Send to File setting

If your device is like the Kindle (uses book internal metadata), put the template in the Plugboard [title]

Ah. I had it in the Save section. Didn't know about the Plugboard thing. That solved the problem I was having.

Thanks.
