I can explain a bit more what I am trying to do, maybe there is a better way:
I have an extensive book and article collection. Many items are sorted hierarchically, one folder per item. Some of the folders contain a lot of metadata in a database file, a text file with the abstract, cover images. An OCR version of the book if the original contains no text.
Sometimes I annotate a pdf, in this case I keep the original version as well.
A lot of the data is generated by running a script that traverses the folders. If I move the files apart or pack them into a .rar, none of these scripts will be able to continue to work. If calibre needs to rename the folders, I can (barely) live with that, but I'd still have to keep the files together in their respective folders.
Another reason for me to keep the files together is that sometimes they are parts of the same book. Some scans are huge and split up into many individual files, I don't want one entry per file, and I don't want to store them in different folders and lose the association between the files.
I am sure that's a common issue, am I approaching this the right way?
