Send book to XTEINK doesn't follow template
Hi
I'm having a problem with the "Send Books to Device" template. I am trying to send books to my new XTEINK V4 in structured folders ("SciFi", "Fiction", "Parenting", "Tech", etc). I have managed to define a new column called "folder_tag" with the folder names as drop downs. At the moment I have the following defined under the "Send to Device" Books/{#folder_tag}/{authors} - {title} But when I connect via Wifi and send books, it's not using this template but send the books into the "Books" directory, named "{title} - {authors} {id}" I can't see where this template is. I've deleted all the other entries in gui.py.jaso and only have the following: "save_to_disk_template_history": [ "Books/{#folder}/{authors} - {title}" ] I've also tried to add this under the configuration for the specific device, but it reverts to everything in the Books directory. What ever I try, I can't get it to use my direcory structure - books just go into the Books folder with the ID added to the end. HELP! Where do I need to define where to send the books to different directories? Thanks |

send to disk templates only work for USB conenctions not wifi ones. in wifi the client side software (in the device itself) is repsonsible for file naming and locations.
