Also, your current template has a problem that makes it not work properly if there is no series. Do you see the in your template? This allows you to only add {stuff1} before the series_index and {stuff2} after, IF series_index exists.
See http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/temp...ced-formatting for a more in-depth explanation.

Your current template should therefore look like this:



not like this



I have moved the "/" which separates folders from after the series to the conditional after-the-series-if-series-exists, and same goes for the " - " right before the second {series}.

if you wish to switch from "A (1st letter of Authors last name) > Author (First Last) > Series (if applicable) > Title - Series -03- Author" to "A (1st letter of Authors last name) > Author (First Last) > Series (if applicable) > Series Number (if applicable) > Title - Series -03- Author" then use this instead (addition in red)

Thanks for all the help! I was actually making a silly mistake in thinking it would change the way books are added to library and not saving to disc. Is there a way to change my template into regular expression?

When I used it properly and used your example eschwartz there is a problem when there is not a series. The title and author run together as in - CursedJennifer L. Armentrout instead of Cursed - Jennifer L. Armentrout I tried to fix it by adding a - to the template but then when a book has a series I get two -- . What would be the proper way to fix it?

Thanks again!!
