Calibre unexpectedly creates multiple directories on my kobo

Hi all,

I try to transfer my books to a folder ebooks on my kobo clara bw. For that I have configured the driver in kobo utilities plugin like: ebooks/{title} - {authors}

For testing I used 3 files to upload, of which one consistently lands in a folder "ebks" on the kobo. This letter gobbling also occurs on a seriesname when using a template like ebooks/{series}/{title} - {authors}

The title is "Prescription Alternatives:Hundreds of Safe, Natural, Prescription Free Remedies to Restore and Maintain Your Health, Fourth Edition"

When I change the title to "foo" the results is a expected.

I am at a loss now and I hope that some kind soul can help me with this possibly rookie question.

Thanks, Mark

When you customize plugin for the KoboTouch plugin, your save template goes at the bottom of the Fie formats tab. mine is set to
Code:
books/{author} - {series} {series_index:0>2s|| - } {title}
To get to the KoboTouch plugin, go to Preferences > Plugins and search for KoboTouch.

What version of calibre are you using and what OS?
