How can I make calibre to leave untouched ".." also after {author_sort}??
Sorry but that's not a '..' in the sense you are meaning. It is a single '.' with the '.' the operating system (going back to CP/M and inherited by MS-DOS)* uses to distinguish the two parts of the filename (filename.ext) appearing as the second '.'. The filename was stored as 8 bytes of a filename and 3 bytes for the extension.

* Actually, going back even further since Gary Kildall of CP/M borrowed his filenaming conventions.
