For things like comic books or children's books that you don't want cluttering up your Calibre library or only have for the sake of kids and don't want any of the Calibre features. Besides viewing covers. This solves that.
It's not about justifying why the program was made haha. I had reasons. People in this thread also had reasons. I just made it work how it should of worked all along. Now I'm sharing it for everyone!

If you put your eBooks in a directory tree as you want, you are stuck with that ONE directory tree That view is all you get. Plus, you have to click all over the place to see your eBooks. All you get to see is the directory names and the filenames. That's it.
But with Calibre, you get to see your eBooks in many different ways and you get to see the metadata as well as the cover.
So how is your own directory tree better then Calibre?
