Certainly not. The SD card is unmounted from the devices OS before it is exported over USB so applications on the PC are free to access and alter the databases. This is what the (now defunct) Windows Companion software did for moving files and folders to retain annotation. Of course, the stability of the device can be affected by errors made in external applications.
