Different Templates for Different File Types?

[Rand Brittain]

Is there a way to set Calibre to send different file types to different folders using a different template for each type?

I have a large Caliber library of EPUBs that I want to put in an EPUB folder divided into subfolders by author name:

{author}/{title}

I also have a large separate Calibre PDF library of role-playing game manuals that I want to send to a PDF folder which is divided into a hierarchy of subfolders by publisher, line, subline, edition, and subset, according to a complicated template someone helped me make:

{publisher}/{#line: re(: , - )}/{#subline: re(: , - )}/{#edition}/{#subset}/{title: re(: , - )}

Is there a way to get Calibre to automatically send EPUBs to the EPUB folder according to the EPUB template, while sending PDFs to the PDF folder according to the PDF template?

I use Action Chains' single-field edit to populate a custom column, #kobopath:

program:

# Returns 'Fanfiction/Fandom' tag for fanfics
	if $$#fanficcat then
		list_re($tags, ',', '^Fanfiction.(.*)$', 'Fanfiction/\1')

# Returns 'Kobo' for Kobo store books
	elif '\[Kobo Store\]' in $#kobostatus then 'Kobo Store' 

# Returns 'PDF' for PDFs
	elif $formats == 'PDF' then
		'PDF'

# Returns 'Loans' for Loans
	elif 'Loans' in $#vls then
		'Loans'

# Returns booktype for others
	else
		$#booktype

	fi

Then fit that into the send-to-device path (see here for why I'm using a re):

{#kobopath:re(_,/)}/{author_sort:sublist(0,1,&)}/{title} - {authors}

The main thing is that I can't remember how (or if even possible) to make a GPM template output the results of a single-function template. It may be easier to make separate chains for each template-type.

Yikes, that's even more complex than I feared.

Alternately, is there a way to make it function differently on a single device by Calibre library rather than by file type?
