copy books into folders named by collection and not author?

Hi.

Is it possible to set calibre to copy all books into folders?

Currently when I copy a book onto my kindle touch a folder is generated with the authors title. The collections in calibre are on the kindle.

Is it possible to change this, so calibre copies the books to folders named by the collection and not by author?

The Device Template sets the Folder names {authors}-{title}

Collections is not a standard Calibre field. The Kindle Collections PI uses a custom column

But, do you find books on your Kindle by folder?
My K4 uses its own bookshelf viewer (internal db) that does not use the folder names.
For Kindles, the Plugboard inserts additional info into fields that the K looks at

I am using Librariansync to build my collectiony by folder. Works quite well for me.
