They could be and there has been talk of changing to a naming scheme that would mean users are less tempted to meddle inside calibre's library. The only part that really matters to Calibre is the number in brackets as that is the database record ID. However having relatively readable names makes debugging much easier for developers.

lso, sometimes people exchange files from their libraries. Having truncated titles makes it hard to perform filename searches.

If you use the Calibre "Save to Disk" to get a book out of Calibre then you can supply the mask (set under Preferences) you want for constructing the exported name so that you get completely readable file/folder names. Also Calibre has far better search facilities for books in its library than you get from using a file system search.

You mean that Windows gets a different treatment than Linux?

Not as far as I know as libraries are completely interchangeable between Calibre on different OS. However it may be something like you have different ID's (the numeric part) for a given book in your library so that the algorithm gives different results on the two machines.

And: Is is possible to tweak calibre to use full-title filenames?

Not wihtout MAJOR change to the Calibre source code. The sticky at the top of this forum area on folder structure covers this.
Note however my comment about being able to use the full filename if you export a book from Calibre using the Save to Disk feature which is probably all you really need.
