How to organize hard drive saving of books

[American_Desi]

I want to organize the directory structure of my e-books library in a very specific way. I would like for the books to save in the following directory structure: BooksLibrary/Series Name/Title/

In Calibre I found an option in prefences/Saving books to disk for books to save in a specific way. To get what I wanted, I changed the template as follows:

{series}/{series_index:0>3s}/{title}/{title}

Thinking that this will save my books in the filename {title} in the directory structure similar to what I have above.

Having done that, I see that the books in my e-books directory are still arranged by author name and then by title.

Am I to understand that clicking the "save to disk" button is what reorganizes the files in the e-book library in the way specified, or does that do something else? When I click "save to disk" it asks me to choose another directory, which I'm not sure is exactly what I'm looking for... I want to reorganize the books in my existing e-books directory.

Any insight would be much appreciated.

You cannot change the way Calibre stores books in its library. The setting you mention only applies to exporting books from the Calibre library. You should read the 'sticky' covering this topic in more detail.
