Format of book titles

crutledge · 03-03-2011, 09:05 AM

With ver. 7.47 there has been no problem with header centering so I thank you for the fix.

A new small problem.

Converting from ePub to LRF, the book file names are produced in all lower case.

Inpur: Wolverden Tower.epub
Output: wolverden tower.lrf

I have searched through Calibre Preferences and nothing that seems to address this.

Am I missing something?

Are you converting using the command line or the GUI?

I use the GUI always

Then the file name is derived from whatever you have set as the metadata of the book in the GUI

The attached image shows the input. The title still comes out in lower case.

That is wierd! On my system the case of the filename always matches the case of the title exactly.

Is this inside Calibre's library, or when you save to disk or send to device?

I only save to disk.

And you get all lowercase file names despite having the metadata in normal case? Do you have any plugboards set that convert to all lower case?

There is an option in Preferences->saving to disk that tells calibre to lowercase filenames. I'm guessing you checked that.
