Ive got some bad news for you worldwalker. Some people like to do things in a way that suits them. Its fine that you don't have the ability to see things from anything other than your perspective, but if enough people have the same issue with the software then maybe you should rethink your stance.

I personally like to have my books in pdf format all in one folder. Then I can see then just by accessing them in explorer and view the thumbnails. Sure I can do that in calibre, but I like to lend my books or show them on other machines. Not everyone I know has calibre. My wife only likes to use explorer. If my books are stored in AUTHOR ONLY FOLDERS thats fine for you, but I have a lot of technical books, magazines, tutorial books that I only know by Title. Therefore when I access my machine from work, or let someone into my folders... its a PAIN IN THE ASS to sift through the folders to find a book ABOUT 3d max modeling, or unity game development.

"so duplicate the folders". A lot of my books and magazines have DVD files attached to them. In all I have over 200 gig of books. So no... I dont want to duplicate everything.

So thanks to the narrow vision of the creators, and the complete arrogance of users like you, I'll switch to something that's more usable for me. I get better use sorting my books with itunes.

goodbye.
Wow!
Buggy Whips are still being used.

Before Calibre, I did not get Tags (or other Meta-data).
Then someone pointed me to the TAG BROWSER.

Gee. I can file things under many categories, but only have one copy of the filed item. Remember thos 'Card Catalogs' the took up space in the central area of a Public (and some private) Libraries?

Each of the cards were Tags
Books were filed in a Single place (thank Dewey )
So tell your wife to keep buying Neets foot oil and keep that Buggy Whip well cared for
