Frequently asked questions

Location templates control the folders and filenames JetReader uses inside the selected library folder. They do not change the library location itself.

Open Settings → Library → Location templates to choose a preset or create your own template. JetReader shows a live example while you edit it.

A template uses fields in braces, such as {title} and {first_author}. A / creates a subfolder. JetReader automatically adds the book's file extension and cleans characters that are not valid in filenames.

For example, for Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen:

Useful fields include:

• {title}: book title
• {first_author}: first listed author
• {authors}: all authors
• {series}: series name
• {series_index}: position in the series
• {publisher}: publisher
• {publication_date} and {year}: publication date or year
• {tags}: book tags
• {id}: book identifier
• {source_name} and {source_id}: the source from which the book was added
• {first_author:%1.1s}: first letter of the first author's name
• {series_index:%03d/%06.2f}: a zero-padded series index, useful for keeping series in order

Use the Add template item button to insert a field, and Template presets to start with a built-in layout.

Changing the template affects the path JetReader uses for future book files, and existing files will automatically be relocated to the new paths.
