Hello.
I'm trying to use koboCloud script to transfer ebooks from cloud to my Kobo Libra H2O. The problem is when I manually put all my files on the cloud from Calibre (in a created folder named "books"), they are automatically put in subfolders by authors. How to prevent Calibre from doing this? |

Calibre has a fixed structure -- Library/Author/Title -- for its libraries.
See this section of the User Manual ==>> Why doesn’t calibre let me store books in my own folder structure? And this sticky thread at the top of this sub-forum ==>> Want to change folder structure or file names in the Calibre library? You probably need to use the Save to Disk tool to copy books to KoboCloud - but don't put your library there, see -->> I am getting errors with my calibre library on a networked drive/NAS? BR |

Thank you for your answer BetterRed, I did a research on the forum before without result.
I will read your links this evening. |

I think you are somehow copying your calibre library to whatever cloud service you are then reading with KoboCloud. The question is how are you doing that? If you are using "Save to disk" to save the books to the cloud service, then you can configure how this is done on the "Saving books to disk" page of the preferences. Changing the save template to not include the author as a folder is probably all you need.
If you are doing it in some other way, we need to know what it is before we can make a suggestion. But, if @BetterRed is right and you are using calibre with a library on the cloud service, then there isn't anything you can do. Except move it before it breaks. Or both of might have misunderstood what you are doing and, again, we need more details. |

Initially my ebooks were in on my computer. A few days ago, I installed pCloud software, created a new folder named "ebooks" in it and then with Calibre, I moved the library to this folder.
Now there are subfolders by authors and two other files (metadata.db and metadata_db_pref_backup.json). |

Basically, if you put your library on a network drive, it's not a question of if your library will get corrupted but when it will get corrupted. For what you are doing, Save to disk would be a better choice since you can use a template to control folders, file names, etc. Last edited by DNSB; 01-06-2022 at 11:59 AM. |
