So some1 mentioned Calibre I downloaded it and shockingly I found it messing around with files and I googled a solution to prevent this from happening so I am here, I get my answer: there is no solution. But I find this interesting post telling me how we should see Calibre as the 22th century futuristic filesystem-free blackbox so I gave my 2 cents here then I'm a troll, lol.
Have you read the code? This program is so tied up with the filesystem, in fact, whenever you change the title or author of the book, it have to copy, delete the book file..., and thus the sluggish performance.
It is as if this program is initially written with the intention to manage the files, and thus the tie in with the filenames etc, which is exactly the opposite of what this post suggests.
So I guess it would take too much to rewrite the code to correct a desgin flaw, fine, don't rewrite it, but it is lame to say "blackbox" or "tag" or "harddisk is cheap" is the reason.
PS. I know quite a few PHDs, but I know none who would put PHD in the title. nuff said.
