Hi,

I recently updated the save template for files sent to my Kobo using Calibre. Previously they were just sent to /{author_sort}, but now I am sending them to books/{author_sort}. This is working great for new books I am sending to my device.

Is there a way to update the file location of older pre-existing books on my device? I tried just dragging and dropping them via Finder, but discovered that made an entirely "new" version of the book on my device without the annotations etc. that were associated with the book. Is there another way to move these older books into my new books directory without duplicating them?

Thanks in advance for any help.
