Show Series in saved books

[Mamaijee]

Pls can someone help with the "template to save books to disk."

I would like to save a book in Calibre to show on disk as:

Abigail Davis - [Unseen Underground 1] - Luca Beretta

where
- Author is Abigail Davies
- Series is Unseen Underground with book being #1 in series, with a [] around series name
- Title is Luca Beretta

Thank you

{author}{series:| - [| {series_index}]} - {title}

For explanation of the above, consult the template language manual.

Edit: The template is made a bit more complicated to work well for books that have no series. If you are sure all books have a series, you can use a simpler template:

{author} - [{series} {series_index}] - {title}

@capink: it is best to avoid nesting field expressions in basic templates. The text inserted by the nested expression is processed again when evaluating the outer expression, which can lead to errors. Following this guidance, the first expression that handles not having a series should be

{author}{series:| - |}{series_index:| [|]} - {title}

This works because series_index is always empty if series is empty.
