New user - two issues
Hello!
I just first started using Calibre. It seems to be a convenient for managing ebooks. However I am quite disappointed as I found that there are no options: 1) to keep my original directory tree (calibre creates its own folders, originally I have grouped my ebooks according to relevant subjects); 2) ebooks after adding to calibre become uncopressed (eg. a compressed pdf file is uncompressed by calibre). Does anyone know how to make adjustments to calibre to fix these two issues? Thank you Last edited by Alexander Turcic; 10-31-2010 at 03:03 PM. Reason: thread moved to appropriate section |

Re: #1 - You can't.
This comes up a lot. Per the link in WorldWalker's sig, please this thread for explanation. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=85232 That said, I'm fairly confident that the majority of users who had a structure laid out on their own and then converted to Calibre are extremely happy they did so. Calibre works so well and the use of Tags for organization is awesome. |

Make sure you are using 0.7.26 not 0.7.25. The latter had a bug that might remove source files when adding to calibre. That said, calibre doesn't alter your source files or source directory tree so you're welcome to keep those directories/files any way you please. They are not changed by calibre.

Thanks for the explanation. However unzipping the existing ebooks does not seems to be OK!
