Folder structure

degroove · Yesterday, 11:38 PM

Hello,

My folders show up as first name last name (Stephen King) and I was looking how to restructure to have them as last name, first name (King, Stephen).

I was very surprised to see that my saving template in the preference is actually on author_sort, and that author_sort is King, Stephen, and that in fact the example shows that this specific book should be saved as King, Stephen.

But all my books are still saved in the Stephen King structure, and even after reaffirming the setting and saving a new book, it didn't matter.

Any thought on what's going on?

If you are looking at the structure of the calibre library, you can not modify the naming convention and storage without creating your own version of calibre. The save to disk template is for files saved outside of calibre's library.

Treat the calibre library as a black box and don't muck around with the contents.

You can change your authors to last name, first name with the Quality Check plugin. This changes the folder names too.

Having the authors as last name, first name is an exception and entirely possible.
