I see that when adding a book to Calibre it puts the book into a folder whose name is the name of the book plus a number between brackets. It seem that this number is an auto-incremental key used by Calibre.

I know that the Calibre idea is to manage the books through the software, without going through the folder hierarchy. But sometimes I found navigating through the folders more straightforward and I found that "numbers between parenthesis" a bit annoying since it is a Calibre internal key that it is not related with the book name or author.

Is it possible to avoid this numbers in the folder name? Or is a Calibre "feature" that is needed for its functioning and we have to cope with it?

By the way... congratulations to the author for his amazing software.
