There have been many times someone has expressed a desire for a feature or a better way to do something with Calibre and Kovid or one of the other developers has jumped on it to at least *try* to make it happen (it took a long time for Kindle support to come about but in time it did). Patience and communication will go a long way in getting what one needs (or at least closer to what one needs).  |
The term boycott has the negative connotation of making a demand. I don't think this is what stisev intended. I believe he was expressing the fact he's going to refrain from using calibre unless a change is made - not that he is expecting it to be made just for him.
Kovid is well aware that some people dislike calibre's file structure and has made it clear that this isn't going to change any time soon. So if preserving your library structure is crucial to you then at this stage calibre is out of the question. Still, I think it is preferable that people express this fact so that calibre's developers are aware of how important this aspect is to people and can decide whether it is worth changing their program.
