Changing from Title-Author to Author - Title

Amalthia · 08-02-2008, 01:26 AM

I'm trying to change the Configuration in Calibre so it saves LRF files Author - Title. This is the code I'm using, the test works but when I save as LRF it goes back to default Title - Author.

(?P<author>.+) - (?P<title>.[^_]+)

That's because it if for reading books into the database, not for saving books from the database.

Amalthia · 08-02-2008, 02:19 AM

ah, so how do I get the files to save as using the Author name first?

Amalthia · 08-02-2008, 02:28 AM

also, what's the original syntax supposed to be for that line? I kind of switched things around without having saved the original version.

you can't at the moment. There's an open ticket about it. Just temporarily rename calibre2.ini to restore default settings.

will do and thanks! and sorry for getting this mixed up. I didn't realize reading it that it would mess with the database.

Amalthia · 08-02-2008, 03:01 AM

okay, sorry but here's another dumb question. where is the Calibre2.ini file located?

kovidgoyal · 08-02-2008, 03:56 AM

do a file search

that was the first thing I did, but calibre2.ini didn't show up.

is it a hidden file?

kovidgoyal · 08-02-2008, 04:18 AM

How about calibre.ini ? What version of calibre are you using?

is there anyway to check to see if tickets are still opened? I'm not sure what ticket number this item is but I'd like to follow it without having to bug you every couple of months to see if this feature was implemented or not.

Amalthia · 09-22-2008, 09:25 PM

I found this and it says the enchancement is fixed but I still haven't seen the option to save LRF's as author name first then title.

P.S. Nevermind I think. I found this http://calibre.kovidgoyal.net/ticket/872 which is pretty much what I'm looking for.
