This actually works just fine with those books that are in Series. The problem arises with those books that are NOT in a Series. It puts a '00 ' at the beginning of every book title.

So - what I do then is use a rename program that scans for these leading '00 ' characters and renames all the files. So far so good.
We had this discussion previously Starson17 uses the following to avoid the preceding zeros. You'll see that he puts the series in the file name too, not a separate folder.

This tries to leave two spaces in front of the title in the filename when the series and series_index are empty, but the spaces are stripped off during the save process. You end up with all your series sorted together and no sign of a series when there isn't one.
