Given that calibre supports multiple OS, you will find the path truncation on any supported OS. That way if I move my library to a different OS, it will not crash and burn. If calibre and whatever you are reading on supports metadata, the actual file name does not matter.
On Windows, if I enable the LongPathsEnabled registry setting (Windows 10, 1607+), it will make no difference to how calibre stores filenames though a 32,767 character path would be allowed. Last edited by DNSB; 12-09-2023 at 06:29 PM. Reason: Added minimum Windows version for LongPathsEnabled |

Q. if it's enabled, do you know if calibre's Save to disk will allow a long path name? BR |

For example, I sometimes want to access a book when I am not at home and don't have access to my home network. I can get it from Dropbox, but because of the naming issue, I need to use an intermediate step: To access the books from my server, therefore, I have Calibre create a catalog periodically, with both the full names and the paths and upload the catalogue to my server. Since the library itself is in a Dropbox folder, I can access a book file by finding the book in the Catalogue and then using the indicated path to get the file from Dropbox. All of this works fine for my purposes. Save to Disk would be worthless for this particular problem. I assume others have other reasons for using Calibre differently that you do. |

{author_sort:sublist(0,1,&)}/{series:|[|} {series_index:0>2s||] - }{title} - {authors:sublist(0,1,&)} Of course, calibre is a massive Swiss army knife and most of us never do more than scratch the surface of it's capabilities. To quote one comment about Microsoft Word, 90% of the users never use more than 25% of it's capabilities, the problem is that no two users agree on which capabilities to use. |

As @slm already has his library on Dropbox the cloud issue doesn‘t really matter.
Additionally maybe it’s only a copy, then even less. And regarding Kobo I would connect it with your mobile, as Calibre Sync is available for iOS and Android - it‘s really easy. |

For me, Save to Disk and copy to DropBox works with minimum effort on my part and is just as easy without the risks associated with having my library in the cloud. Last edited by DNSB; 12-11-2023 at 03:26 PM. |

Save to Disk and Calibre Sync undoubtedly work fine in the contexts they are being used.
My approach (which is only partly described above) suits me, in part because I can access my books from PocketBook or a computer even when I'm not connected to my home network. I have, in effect set up a web page that shows the Catalog I've created, navigates to individual books with cover and description and lets me download or email any of ebook files. This works for me. It may well have been overkill to write the php and batch scripts but they are done now. |
