Set template for device in plugin

matyilona · 05-04-2013, 07:08 PM

I'm new to calibre plugins, and I have a Prestigio 3464B. I'm trying to write a driver for it, but it does not simply use a subdirectory for ebooks. It has a subdirectory, where there are a number of directories for the different languages (it comes with some ebooks in different languages). Is there a way to set the EBOOK_DIR_MAIN in the device plugin to something like Books/{languages}, or the set the template for the device to {languages}/{author_sort}/{title}/{title} - {authors}
?

You need to override create_upload_path() in your driver class. See the original implementation in usbms/device.py for guidance.
