Author: calibre-books
Folder Label: John Schember

in the calibre database folder you will have folder calibre-books instead of the author name. its one solution for those who like to use windows file explorer to view their books.
I suspect that you haven't read the sticky on calibre's structure.

You may enjoy what can happens when this is run on multiple folders. Nothing like a dozen directories all called calibre-books (xxx) to make life fun deciding what author name was originally attached to the directory.

I would suggest reading this stickied message:
Want to change folder structure or file names in the Calibre library?
plus any of the links in it.
