Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Originally created by @kjames2001 on GitHub (Mar 7, 2022).
Kindly allow sub folders in secondary folders under root to be recognized as different books instead of chapters.
@advplyr commented on GitHub (Mar 7, 2022):
Abs doesn't treat folders as chapters, I'm not sure what you mean.
Can you explain what your folder structure looks like?
@kjames2001 commented on GitHub (Mar 7, 2022):
under my root folder (books) is sub folders with author names, then under those folders are sub folders with names of different books.
when Abs scans the library (root folder) it sees author, then all the sub folders in each author are regarded as chapters.
is there anyway you can add an option for those folders to be regarded as books instead? Thanks!
@kjames2001 commented on GitHub (Mar 7, 2022):
im asking because right now all the books for 1 author are audio tracks of 1 book named as the author.
i wanted to change folder structure, but apparantly readarr doesnt allow it, or i just cant figure out how to do it.
@advplyr commented on GitHub (Mar 7, 2022):
The folder structure that you described will work correctly already. Each folder inside your authors folder will be treated as a separate book.
However, you must not have any other audio file or ebook files inside the authors folder. If you have an mp3, pdf, epub, etc. inside your author folder then it will assume that the author folder is a book.
@kjames2001 commented on GitHub (Mar 7, 2022):
i do not have loose files under authors folders.
still its not working as intended, or give me that option to choose.
@kjames2001 commented on GitHub (Mar 7, 2022):
found the culprit, special characters on one of the sub folders caused this.
after removing that entire folder, everything works great now!
Thanks a lot!
@advplyr commented on GitHub (Mar 7, 2022):
Great, glad it is working. If you have details on which special characters that is something we should fix since all valid characters in a filename are supported.

[رجل الخزانة] It was one of Stephen Kings books, named this
@kjames2001 commented on GitHub (Mar 7, 2022):
apparently it reads from right to left, and its copied directly from readarr (i have absolutely no idea what language it is).
@advplyr commented on GitHub (Mar 7, 2022):
Ah okay, well if whoever speaks that language brings this up we can address it then.
