calibre and likebook mars transfer

[m.a.biglin]

I just saw a similar question on a kindle but didn't want to Hijack his thread.

I'm trying to eliminate calibre companion since it's pretty much abandoned.

If I pull the SD card and use a seperate card reader, i can transfer the books into series folders. Much easier to organize and find stuff.

There probably isn't a way to do that when directly connected is there? It just sends the files into 1 folder instead of breaking them up.

Thanks.

WAY back when, when I got my first EZreader. It only used the file system, so I wanted folders. @CHALEY kindly supplied a template that divided things into 2 tree paths:
00noseries /Author-group/ Author
series /series-group /Series

I tweaked that later, any lousy code is mine (attached # Calibre Send to Device template 11/2013)

program:test(field('series'),strcat(
substr(field('series'), 0, 1),template("-series/{series:subitems(0,1)||/}{series:subitems(1,2)||/}{series_index:0>5.2s}-{title}_{authors}")
),template("00noseries/{author_sort[0]}_authors/{authors}/{title}-{authors}")
)

Numbers are in front to get it to Alpha Sort

This might give you some ideas
