You could always contribute and submit a patch for these changes... Then again the whole point of the GUI if for you to organize your books using tags and search criteria instead of a flat directory structure.

0.6 will put the book into Author/Title/Book.ext on most devices (should be every device except the PRS-500) if no / tag is found. This is instead of just dumping the books into the root ebook directory. Oh, and news will go into News/Title/book.ext.

That's precisely why they are separate. The GUI is an organizer. If you don't need it you can still use the command line tools for things like conversion and modifying metadata.
