If downloading metadata has nothing to do with the file name then why does calibre change thge file structure of the library when I download metadata? For example


D:\Calibre Library>dir "Allen, Tim" /s
Volume in drive D is D-Data
Volume Serial Number is 08C9-FCDF

Directory of D:\Calibre Library\Allen, Tim

2015-06-05 13:32 <DIR> .

You can see that before downloading, the book was in a sub-folder of "Allen, Tim" and after it has been moved to a sub-folder of "Tim Allen", leaving the original folder there but with no book. This is not only NOT what I want, but is also cluttering up the library with useless folders.
