I added some books that had bad file names or embedded metadata, and Calibre set up the library directory structure accordingly. Now that I am going through and correcting the metatdata, the folder structure is still incorrect. When I go through an ftp connection straight to the book files I want to be able to look through the corrected data for the book. I realize going through Calibre is ideal, but, for example, if I'm on my tablet I can't use Calibre to grab a new book from my library and I don't want to have to start up the laptop just to find an author.

The only way around this that I can see is to correct the info, save to disk, add the corrected book to Calibre and then delete the old record. Does anyone have any easier ideas? That is a very labor-intesive way to do fix things, it seems.
