Content Server Download and Regular Expressions

Incanus · 03-19-2025, 06:33 PM

Hello:

Is it possible to change the way that the Content Server (running from a Windows PC installation) downloads files to a device that connects using, say, Calibre Sync?

My intent is to use regular expressions to create a folder / subfolder sturcture and naming convention for the downloaded files, as explained here

Awaiting your kind, reply

The server doesnt download files, the client connecting to it does that. Any such customisation belongs in the client not the server.

Much obliged for your reply!

I'll contact support from Calibre Sync with this request.

Gratefully,
