Accents

I´m not sure if here is the right place to write my problem.
How I can make Calibre to respect the accents on files and/or ebooks located in the Library? If I have a file named "La canción", Calibre write it "La cancion" without the accent. Thanks.

You cannot affect Calibre's internal naming standard.

You should be able to get such characters as part of the filename when exporting a file using a Calibre option such as Save to Disk.

Itimpi when I used the Calibre's option Save to Disk, the filename continues without the accent.

Calibre will, as I understand it, convert characters in filenames to ASCII, because some filesystems can't cope with accented characters, but this should have no effect on the title of the book (ie the internal metadata field) which is what your reader should display.

Preferences->Save to Disk->Convert non english characters to english equivalents
