Searching and reading the forums turned up this thread. I've imported several thousand ebooks into my install of Calibre. The original collection is best described as a "big old mess". I have many directories with multiple copies of the same book (different editions/conversions/formats). So, I have a huge collection of numbered directories that are only slightly less messy than the original.
I can see there's no way to fix things up as part of the initial import. Can I request the option to be able to merge the directories with different copies of the same book once the install is complete. Maybe an "export" function that physically copies files and writes them to a new directory tree on request. Exporting and then reimporting them a couple times would still be faster than moving every one of these ebooks by hand and getting them in just the right directory for a single import.
