What's your idea?
I want my ebooks and audiobooks to coexist, for the purposes of creating readaloud epub3 files. My main books library is a folder-as-a-book, and my expectation was that we would put all the versions of that book into that folder: epub, mobi, pdf, m4b, etc.
If on disk, I have the ebook version of an audiobook I already have, when I try to rename the ebook to match the metadata/filename of the audiobook, I'm able to update the audiobook, but the error I get on renaming says
"target folder already exists on disk"
I know, I want it to use that folder, please. Can we have an option to merge renamed files into folders that already exist? I think that the renamer just stops when it sees that the destination-named folder exists, not understanding that it can just move the file inside it into the destination folder.
What problem does it solve?
Allows us to really do folder-as-a-book more easily when organizing/merging libraries
Anything else? (optional)
Logs from a rename I tried to do.
