Your basic premise is in error, it is not a flaw. Thus there is no need for it to be fixed.

This statement is a little disingenuous because I'm sure you do understand why it can't do the same, because it wasn't written to do the same. Calibre was designed with the book handling / database organization at its foundation. Since it is at its foundation to change it would require too much effort and man hours.
Calibre does this for quality control, the same reason after years itunes changed its default behavior to copy the added mp3s to its media area vice simply indexing them. This happened to reduce trouble reports from users. Now you do have the option in iTunes to do it the way you like, but that is because they started out with this system. Kovid is basically a one man team and already fields enough user error questions as it is. No need to open a giant can of potential user error questions.
Since the way calibre handles books isn't going to change, I suggest you stop coming back to this app with the hope that it has changed, because it won't happen.

Since this is a calibre forum my advice to you for a personal ebook library manager is calibre. Since that isn't an option for you
try this instead.
