Show series number but not if they aren't in a series?

[M4cc45]

I hope this makes sense!

Basically I have:

Spoiler:

#{series_index} - {title}

This works fine however it numbers everything even if the books aren't in a series (i.e. one offs).

I wondered if there was a way to do the above if it has a series attached to it but ignore it if it doesn't?

Thanks

Why you would want to have just a series number is beyond me but here ya go.

Just series number and Title

{series_index:05.2f||-}{title}

Series and series # and Title

{series:||-}{series_index:05.2f||-}{title}

Thanks - the reason why is because I put them all in folders.

Something along these lines:

Series A \ #1 - Book Name
Author Name \ Book Name

I'll give it a whirl when I get home!

Calibre can folderize based upon any data field (that exists in your DB).

{series[0]}-series/{series}/{series_index:0>2s}-{title}_{id}/{title}_{authors}

(note the mix of Literals and field data) Calibre Rocks with flexibility

Hi,

Well I've now got around to using the code. The only problem I now have is that the code does:

01.00-Name of book

Is there any way to change this to be #1 or 01 - rather than having the .00 ?

Many thanks,

What code, Walts?

the 5.2f says: 5 digits including the decimal point with 2 of those digits on the right

use the: >02s notation for 2 digits and a leading 0 pad if needed (if you device sorts on file name, you want the lead 0 on 1-9

Ah okay

{series_index:05.2f||-}{title}

Was the code I was referring to - it kinda makes sense now!


Thanks,

{series_index:02.0f||-}{title}

If I changed it to the above should that just give me:

01-Book Name?

Using a Kindle by the way!

If you want 2 digits with a leading zero and without the decimal places, I think the usual recommended solution is

{series_index:0>2s||-}{title}
