Proof of Concept: Calibre to organize non-books
Experiment I been wanting to try for a while: Using Calibre to organize my 12gb of zipped Sims 2 mods.

Does it work better than standard ModType/Creator/File folder structure? Not sure Also with the sheer effort of adding everything I probably won't continue.

Tips for anyone want to try the same: Use the GetFileName plugin.

Good idea.

I always found navigating through x folders really annoying, and I could never remember what they were for, so I had to click on the saved link.

My only problem is that they’re all stored on my NAS.

I use Calibre to organise medical documents for my parents.
With the use of appropriate tags, I can find what I need in seconds.
