Save Template, {series} etc Always Empty

Hi,

What I'd like is to have a book that is not in a series named like the Calibre default: {author_sort}/{title}/{title} - {authors}

Ones in a series I'd like to preceed the title with "SeriesName #SeriesNumber - "

The "#" looks like it could be problematic, I'd looked at examples and know how most of it should work so tried: {author_sort}/{title}/{series}{series:|| #}{series_index:| - | - }{title} - {authors}

For example "Jack Reacher #3 - Tripwire - Lee Child.epub"

Anyway I've tried all sorts of variations and none worked so for debugging I finally simplified it to: {author_sort}/{title}/{series} {series_index} {title} - {authors}

Even the above fails, the series information is never expanded, thinking this could be a calibre bug I downloaded the latest version a few minutes ago and that also fails.

Am I missing something obvious? And in any case can someone please put me out of my misery and let me know what I should use to get what I want?

Thanks for any help,
Dennis
