Problems Getting Desired FileName Format

I seem to be doing something wrong with my E-book library.

I want my E-book files (mostly PDFs) to be saved in a format that has the filename identical to the title.

What is happening is the files are being saved in my E-book directory/AuthorName/Title(####)/truncated title - author.pdf

I'm not sure what the #### - some number with no significance to me which is fine.

But the filename in truncatedtitle-author format is problematic.

How can I make Calibre rename all my existing Ebooks/pdfs in its library so that the filename matches the title only, and do this for all future Ebooks/pdfs that I add later?

When I go to Preferences/Import-Export/Saving books to disk, I get something that looks like what I want, but what I have there doesn't seem to match what Calibre is doing (screenshot below)
