no i get that part, it is actually nice, and probably even better if i just let it sort everything all out and then delete my originals... but the problem i have with that is i've moved all my ebooks across a few hdds over the years and sometimes ran into the problem of "filename too long..."
i can only imagine what kinda fuss it would give me if it was as heavily nested as calibre's library makes it.
i guess my real confusion is the mention of the db that keeps all the info relevant: i understood that it copies over everything, such that if you have 100 GB of ebooks on your external, you'll have 100 GB of the same ebooks wherever you define the calibre library folder. is that right?
i got a little confused reading the manual because it mentions a sql db that keeps track of all the titles/authors/etc... so in my head that's a much smaller, single file, that doesn't NEED copies or specific folder structures or moving files to provide useful information.
