I'm trying to get up to speed with Calibre. I realize it's pretty feature packed but it's not yet very user friendly so I need to refer to the user manual and posts in this forum whenever I try to do anything.

My current issue revolves around filenames and duplication of files. Whenever I add a new PDF by dragging it to the interface, it creates a new copy of that PDF with the author and title swapped, i.e. I added Lori Handeland - In the Beginning.pdf and Calibre creates another copy in it's new directory structure named In the Beginning - Lori Handeland.pdf. How can I change this behavior so that (1) it doesn't create duplicate files on me and (2) it doesn't switch around the naming structure I prefer to use on my files?

I noticed the Advanced tab and the regular expression reference there, though it states that page is for calibre to know how to pull metadata from the filename. If I change this here, will it also change the way Calibre outputs filenames?


Also, I don't care for the behavior of minimizing going only to the system tray/notification area. It's not like this is a system utility, right? So before others who like that feature bash me over the head, let me just ask if there's any way to disable that and have it act like a normal app on a user configurable basis. Because I really don't care for it. If I minimize the app, I want to be able to look down at my taskbar and know it's still running.


Thanks for any help you can provide.
