Problems with saving to disk

lucille · 02-04-2019, 11:27 AM

Hi,

I want to save files from Calibre library to external storage or cloud. I have specific requirements for the file name - Author-Series-Book name. So in the Preferences for saving to disk I used a regex for the file name:

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

I have tried all 5 options in the Save to Disk menu - the result was either a new folder, containing the epub file or only the epub file itself. In case where there is a folder, the folder is named according my requirements (i.e. author-series-title), but the epub file name in each case consists only of the book title.
I want to have as a result of saving to disk only an epub file named with author-series-title.
If this is somehow relevant to the issue, in the Save preferences I have unchecked "Convert non-English characters to English equivalents" and Save cover and metadata separately.

Any help will be greately appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The "/" in your template means that a subfolder is created. So the result that you get is fully consistent with what you requested in the template.

Remove that "/" and everything following it, from the template, and things should work as you want it.

Thank you very much, Adoby!

I removed /{title} and this his solved the problem!
