Multi-Book Pack Feature

I noticed this in the release notes, but no mention how it works.

Anyone know how to use this?

Edit:

I tried it out with a random series with 4 books and it worked well. It didn't name the individual book folders and files according to the naming path template but it works.

When searching for a book and you find a release with multiple books, click on the Multi-Book Pack icon. You'll see a green dot on it after that (Inside Red Circle). Click download and it will do the rest.

Note:

If you have all of the books in one folder in the release, it will add them all to the same folder as one book.

The release has to have them separated by folder. Something for the devs to look into.

Thanks for writing up how you got it working, that helps.

On the flat-folder case, I think that's on purpose. The splitter only breaks a folder into separate books when at least two files have a series number in the name, so a pile of unnumbered files gets treated as one book. Could you paste the file names from one of those releases? If they're ebooks/audiobooks with distinct titles it might be safe to split them too, but that's something that would need to be noodled, and ultimately a call for calibrain if he wants to accept a PR for it, and leaving it as it is would be fine with just a manual step when you do a collection download that doesn't match.

If the naming template still isn't applied on a recent build, it would help to know which version you're on.
