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???

Think about the can of worms there would be if everyone had there own version of Calibre file structure
Who would unravel the changes needed to be applied after every update. (Hint: Not Kovid)
Kovid may have made an error, leaving any reference to the author or title in the file structure. Use of non-intelligent "Calibre Keys" for file names on the library manager would eliminate all these "problems" by requiring the intended use of the UI to transfer or read a filed book.
