Perfect chaley, thank you very much !
As soon as I read "proxy", I was thinking about creating a new connection with a proxy, pointing to a folder with a kind of miracle
And to sync with my folder, I will use my beloved Directory Opus
PS : demi-sel bien sūr
EDIT : I have all in place now and it works very well, I have the best of both worlds : The device world and the folder world
Thanks again !

All you need to do is create a folder somewhere (I use my desktop) that will eventually contain an identical copy of what you want on your device. I called it a "proxy" because from calibre's point of view it is the device, but from your point of view it is a stand-in (proxy) for the device.
Quick instructions: - Create the folder on the computer running calibre wherever you want it. This is the "proxy" folder. You do this only once.
- In calibre, use "connect to folder" to use the folder you created as a device.
- Send books etc to this folder using a naming template that results in the names you want on the device.
- When you are finished, in calibre disconnect from the folder.
- Use a file sync tool like Free File Sync to "mirror" the connected-to folder onto your device in the appropriate place. The choice of "mirror" means that the copy program will make the destination (your device) look exactly like the source (the connected-to folder), deleting, adding, and replacing files as necessary.
