Error message: "TEMPLATE ERROR Single '}' encountered in format string"
Starting today all my e-books (440+) have this error message in the Format area. Any ideas on how to fix? Thanks!

I see the logic of what you are saying, but I have never edited or played with the templates of any of my e-books. I'm just a reader, not an editor. This just happened without any input from me. Is there any way to have Calibre inspect my books and correct the error(s) automatically?

IT IS NOT AN ERROR IN THE BOOKS IT IS NOT AN ERROR IN THE BOOKS It is a Send to Device template error Glitch, Fat fingers, Cat on Keyboard. It is still a template error. There are other places a seriously Advanced users can use a Template, but I don't think this is so in your case. Connect your device: When the device Icon appears (and the Job wheel STOPS) Right Click in the DEVICE Icon: Configure this device: Now you see the template currently being used : (since everyone's tends to be different, you need to look it over. and see if you spot the location of the missing { or } |

From the screen shot, it doesn't appear to be the save template in the driver configuration.
What exactly are you doing when you see this? And what exactly do you mean by the "Format area". The only thing I can think of is where the book formats are listed in the details pane when you select a book. Can you show a screen shot? |

Seeing Formats shows twice in the display on the right, it looks like you have added a custom column.
Could you go to Preferences | Change calibre behavior | Interface | Add your own columns and show us a screen print of that? |

One of your screen shots suggests you have a custom column called Formats. I'm guessing it looks something like what you see in the attachment below - I think you lost the '{' at the front of the Template field. Tip - name the field as something other than 'Formats' so that it doesn't get confused with the 'real' Format data - eg 'Approx Formats' BR |

Are you by any chance using the Metadata Plugboard (a little more advanced features), that is another place Templates are used |

@TheDucks: Look in this screen shot at the metadata on the right. Observe the second occurrence of Formats beneath Path.
We're currently trying to see frank14612's custom columns. Quote:
