I've thought about it, but I'm a C++ person, not a Python person. Not that I couldn't learn Python, I've been meaning to do so for a long time now anyway, but I just have other priorities at the moment.
The conversion thing is a good question, I guess the best answer off the top of my head would be that in case the user chose the advanced option (assuming the scheme I mentioned in the previous post), it would present an additional option "where should Calibre store converted books?" and it would require an empty folder, in which it would place books using the current layout scheme. Maybe something better could be arrived at with some more thought.
I'm only pushing this because while I see the advantages of the current scheme, I also see advantages in the other scheme. And both have perfectly legitimate uses that appeal to a large number of people. Perfect scenario for a user-option. If I was the only person who wanted to keep my own custom directory layout I'd have dropped it already but it's obviously a high demand feature request, evidenced by the fact that someone on page 2 said "well then maybe people would stop asking for it" and all the other people in the thread who have said "I can't believe so many people want this feature".
