It took me 5 minutes before I got the main screen somewhat responding again, so I could remove the offending recursing field out


I did notice another thing, though. I've been playing a lot with these custom fields, mostly in my save pattern.

I've added a custom field {#version}, which holds the current version of my books (as I always reformat them, I'll correct mistakes while reading and update the version). I decided to use that field in my save pattern:

{author_sort}/{author_sort} - {title} - v{#version:0>2s}

If I make a custom field ({#full_title} with this pattern I get:
Smith, Wilbur - Egyptian - 01 - River God - v00
However, when I use this as my save pattern, I get this:
Smith, Wilbur - Egyptian - 01 - River God - v_72.pdf
When I use the {#full_title} as save pattern, I get the same file name:
Smith, Wilbur - Egyptian - 01 - River God - v_72.pdf
Edit: oh, this is only true when {#version} = 0.
