In the case of Calibre, with manual updates possible, you need to deal with that in the duplicates function. Either allow dupes or don't - an existing option.

In
your programming days, your programs did not check files with time zones from/in all over the world, using all sorts of native character sets and running on multiple operating systems
Heck, I hear that Windows (saved) file names are not the same from version to version , let alone XP,Vista and W7 which Calibre does support
