Actually, at this very minute, I don't really care about loosing the DB as I did not put the full collection under Calibre management

Having said this, whenever I notice a typo in the file name, I must corrected. Fullstop
I've been again and again searched the various menus, but did not find how to rename a book (read file name) from within Calibre
Any pointer would be MUCH appreciated
It is automatic. Change the author or title in calibre, and the file is renamed.

Second question: with time, I will be adding new FILES to the library directory tree and I will be wanting to do a full refresh
Again, how do I do this without loosing the metadata updates already done and without duplicating everything, "as per the rules"
Add the books to calibre. If they are new books, use the Add button, or drag-and-drop them on the window. There is also a command line tool (calibredb I think) to do it. If the book is already in the library, I usually select the book in list and drop the new version or extra file in the details window.
