Primarily using Calibre for downloading news recipes. Have had great success tweaking the actual recipes themselves, but a couple question about the engine in general.

1) Can I stop the cover.jpg and metadata.opf from being created for each recipe? I see that there are options in "Saving books to disk" under preferences that would seem to do just this, but it looks like they are ignored for News downloads.

2) Is there a way to stop calibre from creating a subdirectory for each downloaded news recipe?

3) What is the logic behind the naming convention for the creation of the filenames? It seems to be all of the map. For instance, I have "USA Today - calibre.epub", "Slate (complete) - calibre.epub", "Wired Daily Edition [2011Jun17 0641] - calibre.epub", "The Economist [Fri, 17 Jun 2011] - calibre.epub" The latter format seems to be the most common. I would like to fine-tune the filenames if possible... ("yymmdd-USA Today" for example).

4) Moot point if the subdirectory creation can be suppressed, but there seems to be a running counter in the subdirectory name: "The Economist [Fri, 17 Jun 2011] (507)". Where is the counter stored? Also, is there a way to get this added to the front instead of the end (which would make it more useful for sorting).

Thanks for any info (or pointing me in the right direction of the source code...)
