2 years ago Thanks for raising this. You are running into an issue with the "smarts" that's been built in the plugin to truncate long book titles in a meaningful way (regardless if it has invalid characters not allowed by the file system).
The main use case is managing books with a colon. For the following examples, the plugin behaves as follows:
| Original book title | Shortened title |
|---|---|
| The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom (A Toltec Wisdom | The Four Agreements |
| The Manager's Path: A Guide for Tech Leaders Navigating Growth and Change | The Manager's Path |
It's because of the above reason, that in your example Summary: Sapiens: A Brief history of humankind that it gets reduced to Summary which is not very helpful.
I'll make a fix to cater for this scenario. In your example, the short name of the book will be Summary: Sapiens.

Describe the bug
When the title of a book has a character in it that isn't allowed by the filesystem, only the first word is used as the filename.
Example: "Summary: Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind" is created with a filename of "Summary"
Method of syncing
Expected behaviour
the filename should be something like "Summary Sapiens A Brief History of Humankind". or bad characters should be replaced with something good such as "Summary- Sapiens- A Brief History of Humankind
