Change in Series Index when saving books to disc

Hi,

I've recently changed laptops, so copied my Calibre library from one machine to the other. Now when using 'Save to disc' I've noticed a difference in the handling of series_index, which is now causing duplicates in my exported library. For example ...

Previous behaviour:
...\Books\Sanderson, Brandon\Stormlight Archive, The\02 Words of Radiance - Brandon Sanderson.epub
...\Books\Sanderson, Brandon\Stormlight Archive, The\2.50 Edgedancer - Brandon Sanderson.epub

Current behaviour:
...\Books\Sanderson, Brandon\Stormlight Archive, The\02 Words of Radiance - Brandon Sanderson.epub
...\Books\Sanderson, Brandon\Stormlight Archive, The\2.5 Edgedancer - Brandon Sanderson.epub

So the issue only affects books with a non-integer series_index. I don't know if this is a change in Calibre behaviour, or a change in laptop (was Win10, now Win11).

My save template is unchanged:

{author_sort}/{series}/{series_index:0>2s} {title} - {authors}

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Nigel
