Warning, I am a total newbie to Calibre, just getting started. This question may have been answered already, but I did not find it, quite possibly because I didn't use the proper search terms. In which case I'll plead guilty to stupidity, but still would appreciate some help :D
I sofar purchase all my books from Amazon, and import them into Calibre. Then I convert them to epub. All my Calibre settings are default, I merely change a few settings each time I do a conversion to epub (add empty line between paragraphs and set split size to 0). Note I have a plugin to 'liberate' my Amazon ebooks.
I recently purchased the French edition of the collected works of Jules Verne. At the same time I 'purchased' the PD (free) editon of the French edition of Around the world in 80 days. Both were converted to epub, where the completed works required 6 hours to do so.
Now I am trying to export these as a backup, through the save to disc function. The complete works get stuffed in a folder 'VerneJules' and the single book in 'Verne, Jules'. In addition to this, the title of the complete works also gets parts of words removed, replaced by a 0 or nothing.
When I look at the metadata, everything looks ok, and the author and author_sort fields of both books are identical. To make sure I deleted the author, selected in the dropdown list the author again, and save this. No change. I also opened the opf file of the completed works in Notepad++, and this looks ok to me (title, author are properly written).
So please tell me where I'm going wrong, and how to rectify this. Thanks!
Edit: I've been messing around with just about every setting (and restoring it after seeing it didn't help) and stumbled upon the template for saving to disc:
{author_sort}/{title}/{title} - {authors}
If I remove the - {authors} part, it works correctly.
Now, I would like to understand why, and why the default template has this problematic entry? Thanks!
