As you have written I know you are aware that your original files are not touched, just copied.

Calibre allows you to export books in whatever naming format you want them in. But if having your files in two places (due to your unique view) is a deal breaker then you might not want to use calibre for ebook management and just use the command line tools with your file structure.

Unfortunately also, if I try to tag my PDF files with Calibre automation, all tags I already had are gone
Since PDF isn't (yet) a true reflowable format and thus not the best format for ereaders I try to stay away from the format when possible.

The PDF issues you raise might be eventually handled by calibre, but PDF management isn't at the top of the current to do list. Since you don't want the calibre library, which copies your files, you might have to look elsewhere for PDF tools to meet your needs.

Good Luck.
