it will alter the folder name in REAL TIME as you alter the meta data. How you could possibly not notice this is beyond me.

Once upon a time, Calibre kept each book in its database, hidden from prying eyes. When a user wanted to read a book, he selected the books he wanted, connected his Sony reader and they were sent over.
The users added books, peace prevailed, users (and the database) grew fat and ....
ALL WAS HAPPY IN THE LAND.
As time went on, however, a black cloud grew on the horizon. Soon reports came in from the frontier - something was happening to those who had prospered. Fear and confusion spread - the evil demon "Limited Resources" had struck. Far and wide the fat and happy databases were being slaughtered. They were too fat and too slow to escape the demon's evil influence.
Riding to the rescue was the White Knight of "New Design!" Let not the fat databases die the death of eternal slowness as they flee the evil demon's power. Henceforth, all shall be nimble as they shall no longer keep their precious books within. Books shall be kept in a secret cave, and only the location within the cave shall be kept by each database. Upon request, each precious book shall magically appear beside the database with whatever name and in whatever shape or form(at) is desired!
Now each database was nimble as none had to bring with it all the heavy precious books. Each could twist and dodge to avoid the evil demon with ease and once again .....
ALL WAS HAPPY IN THE LAND.
Word of the wonderful database began to spread, but as it did, rumors also began to spread. The secret cave and the precious books within had been found! One said: "I think the precious books should be stored in jars." Another said: "No I think the books should be stored on shelves." A third said: "No, they should be stored in chests!"
Panic began to spread as each new user worried about how the precious books were stored in the cave. The White Knight "New Design" tried to calm the worries of the crowds and dispel the confusion. "Remember that each database can magically call up the precious books from within the cave!" "Worry not about how they are stored within. Each can be called to appear in whatever guise thou wishest."
The old men of the village nodded sagely, remembering the evil times afore when there had been no magic cave to find or worry about and all had suffered the depredations of the evil demon. ... Yet still there were those who feared. Perhaps someday, however, again ....
ALL (WILL BE) HAPPY IN THE LAND.
