When I understand you correctly, in the second explanation you just change the names (and add the volume number). That's what I did (in the Calibre library on my computer) and still it didn't work. Can I change the name of the file when they are on the screen in Calibre?

In Kovid's second suggestion I'm pretty sure he is referring to the Title as seen within the calibre library manager application.
Calibre uses a library's database (metadata.db) as its primary point of control. The names of author and book folders and the files they contain are
derived algorithmically from the values in the Authors and Title columns. The algorithm is such that the file-path to your copy of 'Méditations Métaphysiques' by
René Descartes could be different to mine.
A consequence of this is that you should not add, change, or delete anything in a calibre library with your file manager - see
Want to change folder structure or file names in the Calibre library?.
Over the past 10 years this issue has been discussed at great length, a great many times, both here at MR and elsewhere -- it ain't going to change. Most of us had our doubts as to whether everything could be done within the calibre application - but most of us have discovered it is true. And, unlike most such things, there is an alternative, which is to use calibre's
