What a coincidence. I came on to look for a solution to this and found someone today had the same question.
I am still somewhat old-fashioned and I prefer to use a file manager for quick and easy sorting of files. I can see at a glance what I have and with a useful filename, the files can be used for a long time with minimal difficulty. I finished tagging and renaming a large amount of files and when I looked at them in the file manager, the naming convention of title and first and last name of the author is not very useful. The ideal would be last name, first name - title with an option to put in the series number. (last name, first name - series - title).
A handy option would be to have the option to output the converted file with the filename as a variable. I am thinking of mediamonkey, the mp3 library program that gives the option to rename a file based on the metatags of the mp3.
Does calibre use the metatags of the file for sorting or does it use the filename only? If I rename the files myself, will calibre still find them properly?
