hi guys and girls..

I need help, please!
I would like to know how to reach my ideal configuration when sending files to my Android device..
This is the standard template I use for my Android device

Code:

{series}{publisher:| - (|)}/{series_index:0>3s|[|] - }{title}{authors:| - |}

but while this is perfect when the books has series, it became ugly when they don't!

I tried different way to reach my goal, but unfortunately I had not a complete success. That's why I'm asking you.
What I want to reach is:

Code:

Series - (Publisher)/[series_index] - Title - Author

if the book is in a series; but

Code:

Title - Author

if it is not

Last thing I did was to create two custom columns

Code:

{series} - {publisher}/{series_index} - {title} - {authors}

Code:

{title} - {author}

and then into the device configuration I put

Code:

{series:lookup(.,#BB,#AA)}

but it doesn't work for the series one.. it send books just as the ones without series!

can you help please?
