I'm trying to send books to my device using the following template:
{author_sort}{series:|/|}/{series_index:|| - }{title} - {authors}
This should create a directory for the author, then if the book has a series create directories for each series and place the books inside. This works great... The first time. What ends up happening is if I upload more books for an author who already exists I get a timeout error trying to create the author directory. Also, when removing books from the device the empty directories remain behind, effectively ensuring I will be unable to upload any more books for those authors.
It is possible to go in and delete these orphan directories using the normal file transfer server, however this is very cumbersome and time consuming.
Ideally, not only would empty directories be pruned when removing books, but transferring books in the first place would gracefully handle existing directories.
