Automatically rename books with number of the serie

[Ansem_93]

Hi at all. I have a lot of series with more that 3 books. there is a method for automatically rename al my books with their number before the name? For example:
book's name: "Hello!"
serioes: "hello! [3]"
after renaming: "3 - Hello!"

it's no important if i can do it only when i save my books on my kindle,but for me it's important that every books have his number before the name

Plugboards and Templates are used to do this kind of thing when delivering content.
Send to device (used to side load):

{series_index:0>2s} - {title}

I always pad a leading 0 to support series longer than 9 books

IIRC (The wife has a grip on the K4) K4 uses metadata, not file name.

I think you can use the plug board . See the first 'Show' on this thread: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...21&postcount=1

nothing to do T_T
i had copied both this code in metadata plugboards:

format: mobi
device: kindle2
template: {series}{series_index:0>2s| - | - }{title}
destination: title

format: mobi
device: kindle2
template: {series}{series_index:0>2s| - | - }{title}
destination: title

but nothing to do
i have calibre 0.9.24 64-bit and in the metada i have:
series: Johnny Maxwell
number: 2,00

but the title doesn't change when i send the ebook to the kindle

this is a screen of the second code:

Spoiler:

and this is the book:

Do you use the combined mobi format? I don't think plugboards work for them. Use either old mobi or azw3.

To change from the combined mobi format to the old one:
Preferences -> Output Options -> MOBI Output -> MOBI file type

nothing to do,i have tried allld,both,new and azw3. I tried also to convert before send to the kindle but nothing to do
It's possibile that calibre hate me? T_T or that is a bug of calibre 64-bit/0.9.24?

Choose any format and any device.

{series_index:0>2s| - | - }{title}
title;
but nothing to do T_T
it's possibile that the problem is beacause the number in the metadata is a real (2,00) and not an integer(2)?

You are sending using the send to device button and not say emailling them, or using save to disk or copying them by hand or using the content server. And you haven't turned off the metadata writing plugins.

i'm sending with the button or dragging on kindle icon. i don't try with email.
And i have tried both to convert before send and to send an epub so calibre converts automatically.

What did you min with "using the content server"?

I had controlled,all the plug in are green (enable),there only 4 plug-in disable(gray) in the section "metadata source plug-in"
The external plug-in that i have installed are:
-kindle collection
-quality check
-manage series
-view manager
-count pages

Right below Metadata Source is Metadata Writer. That was one of Kovid's questions

The content server is a Web Server interface built into Calibre (and obviously not enabled as you would have needed to do a few easy steps to set it up for use) that allows a device with a web browser to access books on your LAN (Router configuration is needed for WAN access)

Could you update your profile to indicate which K4 model this is about. They are different in the issues they pose.

I used the Kindle collections PI to create collections based upon series. I did not refine my technique before I turned over control (It was a gift )
