Output file name
I am new here and not sure where to post this question.

When I convert a file, the output file name is always Title then Author.
Is there any way to set things up so that the output file is Author then Title?

Thanks.

Welcome to MobileRead!

You cannot change file names in your calibre library - that is not possible and if you do it manually, you'll corrupt your library. But you can save your files elsewhere on your computer drive, outside Calibre, with the Save to Disk feature. And for this, you can change the template to whatever you want; go to Preferences -> Save to Disk -> Save template.

What do you mean by output filename: Do you mean when you Save to disk or Send to Device?
