But there is one problem in case of series:
If there is only one author everything regarding file structure is perfect, but if i have various authors (i have series with about 10 different authors) i get different folders for the series and the different authors.

series - author 1
series - author 2
etc.

Is there a possibility in case there are various authors for one series to make one folder like:

"Series - Various"

or something similar?
But this is not so important, i can live without the authors string in the series folder name.

Thanks again for your patience.

This would do it.

{series:'test($, strcat("_", field('series'), " - ", cmp(count(field("authors"), '&'), 2, field('authors'), 'various', 'various')), field('authors'))'}/{series_index:0>4s| | - }{title} - {authors}

However, you have reached the complexity point where I would use general program mode. The template in GPM is something like

program: 
	s = field('series');
	si=field('series_index');
	a = field('authors');
	t = field('title');
	short_author=cmp(count(a, '&'), 1, a, a, 'various');
	strcat(
		test(s, strcat("_", s, " - ", short_author), a),
	 	'/',
		finish_formatting(si, '0>4s', '', ' - '),
		t,
		' - ',
		a)
