Flexible internal file structure and a Usability question

It looks like that one of the changes made in the past few months has been the construction of an abstraction layer that allows deviation from the "set" internal file structure in Calibre.

Question: if we can denote the storage structure as something like: {author_sort}/{title}/{title} - {authors}

is there any reason we cannot also allow people to specify the input format similarly (ala media monkey) when adding files? This would be a lot more user friendly than asking the average bibliophile to write regex expressions.

I also (think) I read in a thread that the DB only holds the metadata for .txt files. Is this true???

thanks
