Preserving Filenames
Hi everyone,
The filenames of my e-books are in a particular format I like, that is {author_inverted} - {title} ({year}) or {author_inverted} - {series} - {title} ({year}) but calibre changes the filenames to {title} - {author} How can I keep my filenames intact? The closest I got with save to disk was {authors} - {title} ({pubdate}) but this isn't what I want. |

It's a shame there no option to keep filenames intact when adding books cause that's what I wanted.
Thanks. I'll check it out. I should manage. |

Take a look at https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=119175
Basically, you should treat the filenames and locations where Calibre stores the ePubs as a black box that you don't look in. |
