Adding series info before title in file name

Hi all,

Is there a way to get the series info added before the title in the actual file name? So instead of the file being (for example):

One for the Money - Janet Evanovich.epub

It would be:

Stephanie Plum 1 - One for the Money - Janet Evanovich.epub

Thanks!

If you mean within the library/author/title folder - No.

See ==>> Want to change folder structure or file names in the Calibre library?

The order the OP shows would NOT be in the Library, which is always Author/Title.

OP You can only control External saves
Be aware really long names can cause issues (Calibre tries to do a logical truncate). But I am curious: Why, don't most devices use metadata and their own bookshelves these days?

Use the Template feature of Send to device or Save to Folder
Code:
{series} {series_index} - {title} - {authors}

When I press 'O' I see files such as "For Whom the Bell Tolls - Ernest Hemingway.epub"

Which is similar to what the OP sees.
