Hi,

I wonder if anyone has a solution for this...It seems that when I add books to my library, Calibre creates a new folder with the author's name and copies the book there. For instance the folder would be called 'Leo Tolstoy'. Now when I change the metadata for some books and I want to save it, Calibre creates a new folder with the author's surname first, and copies the book in there. So now there is another folder called 'Tolstoy, Leo'. I don't want to have these duplicates, it makes no sense. Even if i get ride of the duplicates, if I want to add or save again they will be re-created. I can't find anywhere in the preferences how to change the folder naming....Any ideas?
