How to prevent author subfolders when sending to device

[Artemis*]

Can someone tell me please how to save books to my Kobo like this:

koboreader/Ebooks/It - Stephen King.epub

instead of

koboreader/Ebooks/King, Stephen/It - Stephen King.epub


Every time I send a book to my Kobo, it sticks it in an author subfolder, which messes up the Cover View in KOReader.

I can't seem to figure out the right thing to put in the Sending Books to Devices. I tried {authors} - {title} with no forward slash, but it still adds books to subfolders.

Any help would be appreciated!

Are you using Koreader (not the default Kobo supplied reader)? A stock Kpbo uses metadata, not file path (names)

Yes... putting the books in subfolders messes up the Cover View in KOReader. Cover View doesn't work for the Home page when all the books are in subfolders. I keep having to manually move them out of the subfolders.

At a guess, you are using the KoboTouch driver to send the books to your ereader. If so, you can edit the Save to device template in the driver configuration to remove the author sort directory.

My template is:

eBooks/{author_sort:sublist(0,1,&)}/{title} - {authors:sublist(0,1,&)}

to remove the author sort directory creation:

Elibrary/{title} - {authors:sublist(0,1,&)}

The :sublist(0,1,&) limits the author/author sort to the first entry in the list which is handy when you have an anthology with 20 or more author names since it keeps the file name manageable.

OMG, you don't know how much this was bugging me lol. I can normally figure things out on my own, but some of these Calibre and Kobo mods really do me in. Thank you for your help!!
