I'm not totally sure what you're saying.

When I highlight a book in Calibre and select "Edit metadata", a pop-up window opens. The Calibre GUI is indeed showing me the metadata associated with THAT specific book.

In fact, in many cases I have only one book by the author(s) in question, which means the only place in Calibre the name(s) could be is in association with THAT book.

But I'm not sure this is an important point. Again, while the Calibre GUI shows me both authors names when I initially input them, Calibre doesn't a.) create a folder with both names, and b.) it doesn't actually add both names to the .mobi file metadata. It used to do that, but stopped. As I've explained, I've tested this repeatedly. Once I remove the .mobi file from my library and re-import it or add to an e-reader, the second author's name is missing.
