As a consequence the names of library sub-folders and files must be kept in strict synchronicity with the database.
So my rule is look but don't touch, i.e. no additions, deletions or name changes to the folders and files in a calibre library folder.

Yeah. Sigh. That appears to be what works best although I find it a bit frustrating that I can't maintain a single file system of all my books so I can keep up with additions, deletions etc. etc.
