It is not new. There is something related to this mentioned in the =20
Autogeneration Format appendix (basically: how to prevent slashes to =20
be generated).

Yes, the format is supposed to produce a UNIX style path, where "/" =20
is the directory (folder) separator. So if you don't want nested =20
folders, you should use something else.

Small remark about your format, as an author might write more than =20
one paper in a year, you might want to add %u0 at the end of the name.
