Thanks for taking the time to reply.
Unfortunately, though, it seems to me that your reply doesn't relate to my problem.
I'll try to explain, and would greatly appreciate an answer.
Regarding your answers, in order:
1. If "Calibre uses folder/file names with a subset of characters known to work across operating systems", how come it saves hebrew names in a non compatible manner with Windows? why isn't it consistent with English names/Folders?
2. "Saving as" doesn't change anything. Hebrew titles/authors are not saved in file/folder structure named accordingly (that is, in Hebrew), but behaves the same way Calibre handles those Hebrew names, that is: Hebrew titles/authors are "converted" somehow, I believe based on the Hebrew letters audible sound (?), for instance (real example), author's name is "אורן מוסטקי", instead of creating a folder which is called exactly that and save the book there, Calibre creates a folder called "vrn mvstqy", which is, I believe, some transcription of the way the Hebrew is supposed to sound, only a pretty lame one
- the way author's name really sounds in the case is "oren mustaky".
3. Further, regarding the suggested referenced link ("Want to change folder structure or file names in the Calibre library?"): I'm not trying to change Calibre's folder structure or files names (and I'm aware it's a non-option), rather, exactly the opposite: I'm trying to get Calibre apply its own folder/file names structure also to Hebrew authors/titles, and use for this the Hebrew titles/names it uses so smoothly in the Calibre client itself, instead of so strangely "transcribe" them as-if-phonetically into English un-intelligble folder/file names.

I suppose the answer could be that its not possible, but I doubt it, as it seems that someone went an extra length to change the standard behaviour when it comes to Hebrew authors/titles (and maybe other non English languages? I didn't check).

I should add that I immensely appreciate "the Calibre project", its creator (Kovid Goyal) and all contributors.

Thanks again
