"Sending to device" tamplate is not working

MBHunter · 12-07-2013, 11:24 AM

Hi everyone!

I'm using the newest Calibre and I wanted to change the default sending-to-device template.

I changed the default path to:

Code:

!{author_sort}/{title}/{authors} - {title}

because I really need to have folders structure on my device like that:

(Kindle) Z:\documents\!Doe, John\The Greatest Book\John Doe - The Greatest Book.azw3

I saved my settings, but when I'm sending my ebook to device, Calibre remembers the old template, and it's using default settings:

Code:

{author_sort}/{title} - {authors}

which finally leads to:

(Kindle) Z:\documents\Doe, John\The Greatest Book - John Doe.azw3

What's wrong? Could you help me with my issue?
I'm sure I'm changing the "sending" template, NOT the "save on HD" template...

a 'Bang' is allowed in a filename/path??

Well... it doesn't matter, thou. I tried with "!" and without it - still not working as I want.

I changed save-on-HD template, and it works just like I want it to work:

C:\folder\!Doe, John\The Greatest Book\John Doe - The Greatest Book.azw3

But send-to-device template is always default:

Z:\documents\Doe, John\The Greatest Book - John Doe.azw3

Weird...

It might be worth checking the device plugin configuration in case it has its own template.

So where exactly should I start, and in fact... what to do step by step?

EDIT:

Oh God. Fantastic guess @itimpi. Finally it works!

Thank you very, very much!

Just to reiterate, ! * /, and I believe a couple of other characters are NOT allowed to be part of a file or folder name, these are special characters at least in windows.
