rename files based on metadata

Hi there,

I recently imported a large number of titles into my library which had really
crappy filenames *and* metadata. I spent a good deal of time cleaning up the metadata, so now my metadata is perfect. However, the calibre directory structure still reflects the original filenames and authors. For instance,
I have a directory named "Arthur C. Clarke" and one called "Arthur Charles Clark". Further, the filenames within those directories have not really been cleaned up either.

I understand that calibre's directory structure is its own. However, is there a command/option to re-structure the directory tree based on the current metadata? I ask because when I connect to iTunes and export the files the old, messy, incorrect filenames show up in the iTunes "name" field, even though the files have perfectly good metadata.

Thanks,
Jon
