Need Help configuring Calibre

[cliff.bailey]

Hello

I need some help configuring Calibre. I just had to reload my operating system and can't find the tweaks I used the last time. here are a list of the changes I would like to make.

1. when editing the metadata: change the author name to appear in the author_sort field as "first name last name" I tried the tweak "fn ln" in the tweaks section ID: author_sort_copy_method. I also tried the "copy" option and neither worked.


2 when saving a book to a folder the book appears with just the book title. the tweak I would like to make would have the book show up with the authors name as well.

Example
Adrian D'hage - The Beijing Conspiracy

Try 'copy' instead of "copy"

1) After setting the copy method, make sure to recalculate all author_sort values via Manage Authors (accessible from the right-click menu in the tag browser, or right-clicking an author in Book Details).

2) Preferences ==> Saving books to disk.
The default value will save books as "authors/title - authors". Click the restore defaults button.
