Anyone know of some organizational tools
Aside from Calibre to be a library, I'm wondering if anyone might know of any tools (preferable with a GUI as opposed to command line) which could help rename ebook files. I have books with Asian Character names, and as much as I like Calibre as an organizational system, I do like to have the files organized as well without the software. But Calibre likes to rename it into latin characters, and even at that it's wrong sometimes. What I'd like to try and find is a tool that could read the meta data, and pull the Asian Character name and use that as part of the file name.
I found this project: https github com/na--/ebook-tools/ (not sure if I can post links) that did it as a bash script, but I don't know if it has support for unicode names, as I didn't try it. |

Pretend Calibre's files don't exist. They are part of the database and not intended to be accessed directly! The Export/Save to disc functionality lets you have any filename you want. See Plugboards (?).
With Kindle, Sony and Kobo ereaders the filename exported is also irrelevant as the native readers use metadata, databases and library interfaces. The filename only matters when export/copying to something that uses a file browser / manager to load a file to read. Calibre also isn't a conventional "library", it's more a catalogue and ebook for ereader management system. |

For reference to anyone who is new to Calibre and looking to do the same or need files names not maligned: Set up file name format in preferences for save to disk, then use the save to disk feature to save to whoever you want, it will save it with the Unicode name. |
