Different Device Configurations for each library?

Mojo Fones · 02-02-2016, 06:04 AM

Howdy, I wonder is it possible to have different configurations for the same device for each library? For example I have two libraries, one for Kindle and the other for PDF books. I would like the AZW3 books to be sent /Kindle/{title} and PDF books to go /PDF Books/{authors}/{title}.

My reason is that I use a Galaxy Tab S2 and I have the Kindle app which only reads books in the 'root' folder so I cannot use author folders, and Moon Reader for PDF books and I like to use author folders. Currently I just change the device configuration for each one which is no major hardship but I'm looking for a little more convenience.

Thanks in advance for any help.

You can use a custom column defined as

Code:

program:approximate_formats()

and then select different send-to-device paths depending on the formats available.

The only way to get different configurations per-library is to use different configuration directories, see: http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/cust...ment-variables
