Pardon if this has been asked and answered, but is there a way to turn off the auto increment of the series index number? I saw the tweaks in preferences, but none of them seemed to match what I wanted - the ability to manage the series in the tag browser and have the index number in existing books not change at all.
(edit - never mind - I just tried it again and the behavior was not as I remembered - Must have been recent changes, or just human error on my part)
(edit #2)
OK, now I see what was different. The example: I have Michael Moorcock's "Runestaff" books in Calibre. Books 2 and 3 were added with the series name "Runestaff". Books 1 and 4 were added (at a later time) with the series name "History of the Runestaff" Renaming the series to remove "History of the" results in books 1 and 4 becoming "Runestaff" 5 and 6, respectively. If there is not a series already in place called "Runestaff", the numbers on the books are left alone, and remain 1 and 4. If this auto-indexing could be turned off (with a new tweak, perhaps?) I would be an extremely happy camper.
