Save to disk - ends up with slight variations in folder names...
Hello all!
I have set up Calibri to save by book series, so for example: The Dark Tower Series (opening it> 1 - The Gunslinger, 2 - The Drawing of Three, etc But some of the titles end up in almost correct folders so it ends up like: The Dark Tower Series > 1 - Gunslinger But then 2 - The Drawing of Three ends up in a folder named The Dark Tow or The Drk Twer. A slight variation of the actual book series name. Now mind I have checked and in Calibri their actually named correctly its only upon saving them that this happens. Anyone care to explain or give insight as to why this is happening? |

just another WAG This folder: It needs to be close to the drive root (eg C:\booktemp) that series name is Loooong by itself Windows has Path name limits, so Calibre will try and make it fit |

Could there be some problem with the metadata and/or the encoding used in it? So that it looks fine, but isn't. Try to delete the series name, and then write it in again, and see if that fixes it.

I have solved the problem, it would seem the title names were too long afterall. After shortening the ones that caused problems it saves beautifully. So thanks theducks!

While I don't normally use abbreviations, I do clean up (redundent) naming. The Big One Series Doh! I know it is a Series, that is why it is in the SERIES Column My Title :A Novel This is a Tag (if you must. I assume Novel unless tagged Short Story ) And a Title that includes the Series Star Wars:My Last Hope |
