What’s your directory structure right?
Are you storing everything in a flat directory or do you have things organised by author or alphabetically by title?
I’m talking about the actual files on your storage, not the front end.
- fiction - Abbott, Edwin A_ - Flatland - Flatland - Edwin A. Abbott.epub - Flatland - Edwin A. Abbott.jpg - Flatland - Edwin A. Abbott.opf - Achebe, Chinua - Things Fall Apart - Things Fall Apart - Chinua Achebe.epub - Things Fall Apart - Chinua Achebe.jpg - Things Fall Apart - Chinua Achebe.opfSo in each directory that I use to delineate a library, I have a subdirectory for each author (in sort order form). Within each author subdirectory is a subdirectory for each book, with just the title, then the book with (edit - the anti-injection code mangled how I was trying to say the book file name. it’s [book name]-[author].[extension])
I didn’t invent this, it’s just what Calibre spits out. When I buy a new book, I ingest it into Calibre, fix any metadata and export it to the NAS. Then I delete the Calibre library - I’m just using it to do the neatening up work.
Ooh, that’s interesting!
I use calibre to manage my collection. Calibre creates a folder per author and a sub-folder per book. I also have separate Calibre libraries for fiction, non-fiction and comics.
It seems that author > book is pretty much the standard. Thank you
