Because folders are part of the filename.

I didn't make that suggestion because it was definitively irrelevant.

What device plugin? All I find under "Configure this device" are options for preferred file format, metadata, and sub-directories. I don't know whether that last one is supposed to avoid the extra folders, or is supposed to allow users to export into existing folders.

I need to be able to export to the right folder, on the right card, without the extra folders.
That *is* the device plugin.

Unchecking subfolders should do it, but there should also be a box to fill in a filename save template.
The default calibre filename save template includes an {authors} folder. Which I was given to understand you find distasteful.
