Plugboard and 'save to file"

[adrian1944]

Can someone help me with getting a plugboard situation working for save to file

I have a working plugboard for sending books to my kindle or sony 650 on the lines of
epub (or Kindle):any device = {title} {series:<.36s| [|} {series_index:| [|]]}

and i vary the number of characters to be shown from 36 down

now for an ipad mini i want to put books in the specific app folders rather than ibooks so believe i have to save them in a folder and drag then to the ipad app folders once connected for Marvin or bluefire

I thought my formula above would work if i started with
epub:save to disk = {title} {series:<.36s| [|} {series_index:| [|]]}

testing it however i seem to get no effect from the plugboard with the file saved in the folder being title - author with no reference to series whatsoever as though there was no plugboard.

Am i doing something basic wrong?

Plugboard changes the metadata in the book not the filename of the book. You might be able to use your formula in the Save to disk Save template to create a new filename on Save to disk. Or leave the plugboard as is and use the Connect to folder feature to connect to any folder as if it were a device.
