hi @eschwartz

thanks a lot for your precious help and your detailed explanation.. but it seems I lost a few steps.. I never wroted a program like that and I never used it, so I don't know where it should be placed!!

I tried to create a custom column and then used {#custom_column} in device configuration send to option; I also tried to create a template function from Calibre options (the very last button on the Options GUI, sorry don't know in English how it is called); I also tried to paste this code directly into Send to device field option.. nothing, all I have is a file called something like

Code:

prefix_if_series = strcat(	field('series'),' - (',    field('publisher'),  	')/[',	field('series_index'),	'] - '

So, where and how should I place this code, please?

Oh and BTW, it is possible to use

Code:

series_index:0>3s

instead of series_index into this same code you wrote for me?

Thanks a lot for your help once again!
