Thanks!

BTW, in my Test library (which is the one I was using) I don't swap first and last names to create Author Sort.

Well.. it is not that I specially want two dots in the file name....
It's just that I do not want a "_"

basically because I have all my library superclean with all file names. and it bothers me like a lot to see that everytime I have an author with just the initial as second name (e.g: "R.", or "T."... etc)...
calibre decides to add a "_" at the end of the author_sort...
consequently making my library the opposite of clean.

More visually, I mean that by using this template code:

{author_sort}. {title}{:'format_date (raw_field ('pubdate'),'yyyy')'|. |}

I get lists of filenames like this:

Cox, Jen. Green world. 1948
Smith, Jogh. Crystal water. 2010
Tim, Sam R_ Glass. 1999
Murphy, Melissa. Manual. 2008

And that fuc%&! underscore is freaking me out!!!! LOL

So i just wanted to find a solution to create a template code to fix that, while at the same time leaving the rest as clean as it is....

call it OCD, yes.
