I would like to send the files to someone, but this would mean copying the files out of the library and renaming them. I have a LOT of clutter and small files and would like to avoid any duplicates. It's just if I copy those two files in a separate directory even I don't know which file is which. I would like not to include opf files. My friend doesn't use Calibre. Also I would like to avoid copying and renaming every time I'm sending documents and I tend to give descriptive long names. Currently I'm moving the database into a new folder that will shortens the path with 11 characters and the path will be 5 characters but again, from reading older discussions and filed bugs, Calibre doesn't reach even the half of the allowed characters in Win.

Also can you advice on the other two questions? (The search option and the format display?)
