Hello everyone!
I experience a problem with how Caliber names files.
Caliber names files with the same name as the books.
On Linux, I see no problem.
But Windows has a character limit for file names and that's a big inconvenience.
Recently I wanted to transfer my Caliber libraries to my Onedrive account and I could not because Caliber has many files with very long names.
When using the "Path Scan" application, I listed several files with large names. For example:
220 characters:
C:\MyBooks\Biblioteca Calibre\Ficcao e Novels\George R. R. Martin\As Cronicas de Gelo e Fogo - Livro 3 - A Tormenta de Espadas (645)\As Cronicas de Gelo e Fogo - Livro 3 - A Tormenta de Espadas - George R. R. Martin.epub
I think it would be best if the gauge stores the books using disk serial numbers. Something like that:
<folder in disk>\Calibre\<ID_autor>\<ID_book>
Where "ID" is a internal serial number, a simpe index.
Do I need to know if it is possible to shorten the file names in the Caliber directory structure?
Do you know any way to do this in batch mode?
Thank you!
