That's why I mentioned it, but Calibre library folders aren't named with obvious names (length control and book id issues), so it needs some more work. What is really needed is more comprehensive metadata import control during Add Books.
A table (like a plugboard) that says get the author and title from the filename, the series from the directory name, the book cover from the jpg image that matches the file title, and all other metadata (publisher, etc) from internal metadata would be nice. It's on Kovid's ToDo, which gets longer each day. (One of the few things with a length that grows faster than the speed of light - it's a good thing Kovid has a Physics background).
