Saving epub to disk missing letters
When I save my epubs to disk, some of the authors and series names have missing letters, making them scrambled. Example:
"J. Steven York" comes out as "J. Sten York" Many authors come out like this, as well as various series names. My save to disk template is thus: {author}/{series}/{title}/{series}{series_index:0>2s| – | – }{title} - {authors} Am I doing something wrong here? |

That will happen when the file name/path are too long. On windows the limit is approx 250 characters.

For example, a template that ensures that the total length is less than around 200 characters could be: Code:
{author:shorten(20,-,9)}/{series:shorten(20,-,9)}/{title:shorten(20,-,9)}/{series:shorten(20,-,9)}{series_index:0>2s| – | – }{title:shorten(20,-,9)} - {authors:shorten(20,-,9)} |

A number of Series I read are shared between different Authors or co-authors. Back when I had a simple device that used only file names, I created a psudoSeries (00NoSeries to alpha-sort at the top) for those that did not belong in a series series_index:0>5.2f allows for fractional series |
