Thanks itimpi.

Im affraid it wount.
As I wrote, I have several ereaders and each has different problems with different ebook / documents formats.

For example my iRex800 has trouble with books with national characters in text, combined with specified fonts. I have to strip those (eg.) EPUBs of all font tags in editor outside Calibre to make them readable. Then reimport to Calibre and sync.
But I would also like to preserve the original ePub with the fonts/styles for my other (and future) devices of course. ..and keeping them somewhere in separate hand-made dir structure ouside of Calibre kind of denies the purpose of Calibre as one-place, accessible ebook library.

Having them in rar makes them inpossible to sync to devices I guess ?

Another case is with mentioned txt documents. Again, iRex seems to support only specific encoding for non-ascii plaintext. My other reader supports other one.
I would really like to have all those sub-versions of the files under one ebook record in Calibre and just set which sub-version will be synced to each device.

Plus it would be generaly usable for keeping coversion history for each format, or having a eg. custom PDF for different ereaders screen sizes etc.

If there is no other way / workaround for this, is it possible to request / propose this feature somewhere ?
