Well, that that is what we have been talking about. It needs to be worked out if is practical and what needs to be changed and where on the device.

This is something that has annoyed me in a small way for a while.
Between title edits that change filenames and my own playing with the filename template, I've got a lot of books that are not exactly where they should be. As kobo ignores the filename itself in the UI, this isn't a big deal, but if I use something other than kobo's gui, it gets annoying fast.
The KoboTouch device driver does not support anything other than the use of the Kobo GUI. It reads the database and doesn't look for files elsewhere. If you are using KOReader instead, you shouldn't use the driver. Use the connect to a folder, or the User Defined driver. Both of those will scan for books and you can configure them to put the books were you want. And if you aren't using the Kobo UI, simply deleting and resending the books should fix the name and location.
