Change Filename format in repertories?

aurigod · 12-02-2015, 10:08 AM

Is it possible to change the filename format in Calibre.

Currently : <Title> - <Author>.epub
I would prefer : <Author SortName> - <Title>.epub

Thanks

change the device template to

Code:

{author_sort} - {title}

(the extension
is auto-added for the format sent)

Connect the device, When the device icon appears on the toolbar, use the little arrow (or right-click): Configure this device

Each device TYPE can have a unique template (auto-saved)

Okay, okay, I apologize for having fun at your expense. You may not be the 1,000,000th person to ask this question, but you're probably close.

In all seriousness, the short answer is: No, you can't do this. The long answer is: If you're looking at the files themselves, you're doing something wrong.

Pretend those files don't exist. Pretend they're locked up inside a magical black box that you can't see into. Now, with this assumption, figure out how to use Calibre to do what you want. Chances are, you'll come up with a new work flow that's as easy as, or possibly even easier than, what you've been doing before.

)

My question was perhaps badly but but I was talking of the directories on the computer not in the device.

you got the answer to the On Computer names - you cannot change the Calibre internal library naming standard.
