The template I use for save to disk is:

Code:
{author_sort:sublist(0,1,&)}/{series:|[|} {series_index:0>2s||] - }{title} - {authors:sublist(0,1,&)}
Basically, create a subdirectory based on the first author in the author_sort list then add the series/series index if it exists in [ ] - , then title - first entry in the author list.

Say I saved David Eddings' Losers to disk, I would see the following:

Code:
Eddings, David/Losers - David Eddings.epub
Whereas if I saved J. D. Robb's Desperation in Death (In Death #56] to disk, I would see:

Code:
Robb, J. D_/[In Death 56] - Desperation in Death - J. D. Robb.epub
The reason for not including the entire author list is that I have quite a few anthologies where the filename alone never mind the filepath/filename exceed the 240 character maximum path length calibre used.

For instance the The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, Volume One 1929-1964 edited by Robert Silverberg would require a total of 1464 characters if I tried to use the entire author/author sort list:

Silverberg, Robert & Weinbaum, Stanley G. & Campbell, John W. & Rey, Lester Del & Heinlein, Robert A. & Sturgeon, Theodore & Asimov, Isaac & Vogt, A. E. Van & Padgett, Lewis & Simak, Clifford D. & Brown, Fredric & Leinster, Murray & Merril, Judith & Smith, Cordwainer & Bradbury, Ray & Kornbluth, C. M. & Matheson, Richard & Leiber, Fritz & Boucher, Anthony & Blish, James & Clarke, Arthur C. & Bixby, Jerome & Godwin, Tom & Bester, Alfred & Knight, Damon & Keyes, Daniel & Zelazny, Roger/[SF Hall of Fame 01] - The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, Volume One 1929-1964 - Robert Silverberg (ed) & Stanley G. Weinbaum & John W. Campbell & Lester Del Rey & Robert A. Heinlein & Theodore Sturgeon & Isaac Asimov & A. E. Van Vogt & Lewis Padgett & Clifford D. Simak & Fredric Brown & Murray Leinster & Judith Merril & Cordwainer Smith & Ray Bradbury & C. M. Kornbluth & Richard Matheson & Fritz Leiber & Anthony Boucher & James Blish & Arthur C. Clarke & Jerome Bixby & Tom Godwin & Alfred Bester & Damon Knight & Daniel Keyes & Roger Zelazny
