Agreed!
I'm actually surprised that people
care how the files are organized. I worried with a little bit when it was clear that books with multiple authors weren't stored the way I thought of them. Then I realized it didn't matter at all--there's never any reason for me to access the books through the file system, so it really doesn't matter to me how they're organized as long as calibre can retrieve them and I can send them to my e-readers.
The only file based "work" done on my calibre library is by the backup software that backs it up regularly. I don't even look at it.
It's taking me a long time to clean up the metadata for my existing books, but once I finish it, everything will be accessible easily and quickly through searches.
If I discover at some point that I wish I had more metadata (different tags, a new hierarchy) then I can add it--and the files don't change at all. I think that's
awesome!
Gotta go
