The {title_sort} replace the {title} value when doing save to disk job

[kevin4fly]

Click Preference -> Saving books to disk(Import/Export section) and then set the template to {title} - {authors}. When I am saving the book to disk, the book name is {title_sort} - {authors} instead of {title} - {authors}.

Thanks for your reply, man. It's so quickly.

I am just reading the "calibre user manual" and doing the stuff as per what the manual says. I haven't yet read the Tweaks section, but I get a clue from your response.

Thanks again.

I am trying to solve the ¨title_sort" "problem" when saving to disk with preferences-tweaks:

I code:

# Control formatting of title and series when used in templates

save_template_title_series_sorting = 'strictrly_alphabetic'

but still i get title and not title_sort when saving with this template:

{title} - {authors}

any clues ????

If you want "The Lord of the Rings" to save as "Lord of the Rings, The" then change the tweak from strictly_alphabetic to library_order. If this isn't what you want then try correcting the spelling in your tweak.

sorry, i wanted to say:

I use:

save_template_title_series_sorting = 'strictrly_alphabetic'

and does not work as expected.

Assuming that's a direct copy/paste, then you've got an extra 'r' in strictrly_alphabetic.

That should be strictly_alphabetic

Oops, you are right, the template was wrong, now all works ok.

Another question about this:

It is possible to save disk with filenames:

author - author_sort - title - title_sort

the first three ones no problem, but now the last field i canont see the way to code the template.

{title_sort} is not a valid template choice

I also thing you will run into a filename LENGTH issue on occasion (Titles can get wordy )

Of course i know {title_sort} is no valid.

I dont understand why was not included in a template choice.

@ilovejedd I'm glad you chose to state it in no uncertain terms. I guess my comment wasn't as clear.

{title_sort} is a valid template field in save-to-disk (and everywhere else). For example, with the tweak set to

save_template_title_series_sorting = 'strictly_alphabetic'

and doing a save-to-disk of the book with the title

An empty book to delete later

using the template

{title} --- {title_sort}

the following file name is generated

An empty book to delete later --- empty book to delete later, An.txt

as shown by the attached screen capture.

So the list on the Save to Disk setting is not fully inclusive then
Good to know. (I took that screen as gospel )
