In this way, the books were saved loose in a single folder chosen by you, they kept the characters and were saved with a “Title – Extension” format, which was perfect to send them in bulk via the “Send to Kindle” website.
So, what is the problem with the new Calibre update?
The latest update is saving the books with a "Title-Author-Extension" format, and on top of that is placing the files into folders by author, adding the OPF and JPG file of the cover.
The problem with this is that you need to manually remove the author's name from each file, otherwise Amazon creates a “title - author” title. This wouldn’t be an issue with one or two files, but if you are planning to send 50 – 100 books to your device it become an incredible burden.

You have looked at the calibre online manual or done a Google search for information on calibre's save to disk? You have looked at your Save to disk template? If not, perhaps you should look at your Save to Disk template. Preferences => Save to Disk => Save template. A simple {title} might be all you need to get the title as the filename As for the opf/jpg files? A simple delete can clear those up.
Oddly enough, I seem to remember having the opf and jpg files saved when I've used Save to Disk for quite a few years since around calibre 0.7 as far as I recall.
As for an incredible burden? Our definitions seem to vary. A burden is a blind friend of mine using ebooks on a Braille ereader. Having to edit file names does not qualify, IMNSHO.
