mobi file's metadata so that both names display when the ebook is on my Kindle. All I care about is that both authors' names are in the.

They could have one, both or no author names and it would make zero difference to me. Ultimately I don't care about the folder name or the file name. However, these two issues in-and-of-themselves are not a problem. Now the file name only has the first author. mobi file, the file name would also always include both authors' names. In the past, when Calibre created the actual. I have tons of older folders created by Calibre that do have both authors' names. In the past the Calibre-generated always folders included both names. Perhaps that's true now, but I'm certain that wasn't always the case. This linkages between a book and its authors is maintained in the database, not the folder structure it's just a convenience store for format files, display covers, and metadata backup files. And that's been true since i started using calibre in 2012. So, if you add a book by 'John Smith & Jane Doe', both authors will appear in the tag browser but there will only be one author folder named 'John Smith'. But when I check, the folder name only has the first A Lurker - if it doesn't exist, an author folder is only created for the first author name of a book. If Calibre was working properly, the folder name would have both authors. Calibre creates folders based on authors' names. the actual location of the files saved on your hard drive).

I go to the Calibre library in my Windows Explored (i.e. Here's how I know the GUI is wrong and there second author's author has been dropped from the file's metadata:ġ.) As I've explained, if I export the file to a different directory and then re-import it, the second name is missing. Based on the GUI you wouldn't know there's a problem. One important thing I should point out: when I add a second author's name to the ebook, the Calibre GUI suggests the second author's name is present. 1) ebook-convert file.epub file.mobi -authors 'Author One & Editor Two'Ģ) add the mobi to calibre and both authors show up, as expected
