Custom folder structure on 'save to disk'
Hi
![]() I'm using Calibre 0.9.7 since two or three days. Calibre use the authors and the book title for the folder structure. Is there a way to tell Calibre to use a custom metadata field as structure? I've added #genre and I would prefer this. greez GarfieldKlon Last edited by GarfieldKlon; 11-25-2012 at 10:43 AM. |

I've already read this and I'm configuring the 'save to disk'. I set genre like this --> 'IT.Programming.Java'. If I export it with {#genre}/{title}/{title} I'm ending up with a folder calld 'IT.Programming.Java' ...
But I want a single folder for each genre, a folder 'IT', and in there a folder 'Programming' and so on. Isn't this possible? |

I don't want to write into the calibre folder structure, I just want to export my books somewhere else with my own defined logic.
I think this could be the solution: sublist(val, start_index, end_index, separator) edit: Ok here's something ugly, but it works: {#genre:subitems(0,1)}/{#genre:subitems(1,2)}/{#genre:subitems(2,3)}/{#genre:subitems(3,4)}/{#genre:subitems(4,5)}/{title}/{title} I don't know how to dynamically create the folder structure.

Exactly, what's so scary about that? Can I do this more generically?

Long path names aren't the same as a deep directory structure. The directories itselves are each shorter than 20 characters.
