Preferences-Save to Disk Template

I wanted to 're-arrange' my Calibre library folder and file name structure to make books easier to manage on my Kindle. I know Calibre can Manage Device and Send To Device, but I like to copy myself

I had been using the default template which uses

... \Calibre\John Gray\Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus (39)\Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus - John Gray.epub

i.e. ...\Carlibre\{author_sort}\{title}\{title} - {authors}.epub


I wanted to go with something a little flatter

i.e. ...\Carlibre\{authors}\{authors} - {title}.epub

It seems to ignore this template

{authors}/{authors} - {title}

Q1: Will Calibre automatically restructure if I change the template (didn't seem to)

Q2: Do I have to delete and re-add books to have them fit into the new template (didn't seem to work)

Q3: (Most important) Am I doing something wrong?

Q4: Is there a better way?

Q5: The template only works for making copy using Save To Disk, correct?? And the basic Calibre database folder structure is always that way??


I guess I can live with that.... Never mind
