But you are going to have to type in the name as you add the book. AFAIK Calibre does not record the file name on ADD. ![]() ![]() AND the file names are different? |

I have a custom column of type=text, called "#origfile", which I use to store the official Amazon filename of my books. (This allows me to download the book with the Amazon book metadata -- pagenumbers and annotations -- then overwrite the book with my calibre copy that has fixed title/authors.)
The only real trick is making sure to always copy over that info (NOT the file extension, though ![]() ![]() |
