How to rename epub books by title and author
Hi guys.
I've a lot of eBooks downloaded from all over the internet, and I want to rename these books using titles and authors like this "eBook title by author". I use to do that manually, but as my eBooks collection gets larger and larger, it's not easy anymore. So my question is: is there anyway to automatically rename all my eBooks collection using Calibre and extracting the title and authors from the metadata? Thanks! |

@westiti - simple answer is 'Yes'.
Calibre can extract the metadata, including author and title, when a book is added to the library and populate its metadata database. It will copy the book file (known as a 'format') into a library which is a set of folders based upon Author Names and Titles - but you don't need to worry about any of that, because all access to the metadata and the book format files should be done via the calibre program - not the computers file system.

{series} {series_index:0>2s} {title} - {authors} as I like to preface the title with the series name and number. You might want to use: {title} by {authors} These templates affect the exported filename. You may also want to use a Plugboard (again, setup in Preferences) to have calibre perform similar gymnastics on the embeded metadata in the exported file. Some ereaders display the title and/or author from the metadata instead of the filename. I use both Save templates and a Plugboard. |
