Moved books on KOReader disappear from "On Device" in calibre

I'm not sure exactly how to ask this, but here goes: I have a jailbroken kindle Oasis that uses KOReader. I set my KOReader home directory to a folder named "EPUB_PDF", and this is where calibre sends my books when I use wireless transfer. After I transfer a book, it shows up as "On Device" in calibre, which I would expect. To keep my books organized on my kindle, I have several subfolders under EPUB_PDF (Author, Series, etc.). After I transfer the books onto my kindle, I move them into the appropriate subfolder. The book will still read as "On Device" until the the next time I connect to calibre, at which time it's not still "On Device" anymore. Is there a way to configure calibre to recognize these subfolders?

If you move books around after sending them calibre will loose track of them. If you want books in sub-folders use a template to have calibre send them to those subfolders in the first place or if for some reason you cannot do that, then after moving your books around you will need to relink them in calibre which you can do in the device view by right clicking a book and choosing match to book.
