It looks like the plugboard was set up not through UI, so it did not have a name to display to you. Normally when you set up a template and the tag, such as {series} is empty, Calibre discards the extra path delimiters/slashes. At least when I use the template language in the "save to disk" configuration.

I suggested that you try to set up a plugboard, so that we could see whether it has any impact on the existing problem.
Oh, silly me, I got confused about the order of your suggestions, and was too lazy to go back a page and reread it. Somehow, I thought your first suggestion was the one that checked series for empty, but it was something else that I didn't really understand due to lack of experience with how it all works.

I've never needed to change the behavior in Calibre for anything - never had a reason to, it works fine for me. I consider it to be one of the best programs I've used, because it never seems to fail me, it works the same on Linux, OSX, and Windows, and it's free with no ads, although I've contributed a number of times and will continue to do so. I recommend it to everyone who reads ebooks.
