Okay folks of #Books
Going to get serious about organizing my ebooks and audiobooks. Which filename convention do you think is best (for file-based management)? (suggestions?)
Author Last Name, First name, series name, book number, title
eg: Sawyer, Robert J, The Quintaglio Ascension, Book 1, Far-Seer
Series name, book number, title, author name
eg: The Quintaglio Ascension, Book 1, Far-Seer, by Robert J Sawyer
(boosts for reach appreciated)
@WTL Hmm. Not terribly fond of either, but I haven't faced this challenge before so my approaches would probably not be fully thought out. For example, I would almost always prefer the title to be first.
That said, how about Dewey?
@WTL it might be slightly useful for organizing things into folders, but computers can be more powerful than that.
One of the things I miss about BeOS was that the filesystem (BeFS) allowed you to add custom metadata fields to files, kind of turning it into a queryable database.
