Still not possible to use your own directory architecture manifestly
- bayindirh 2y agoI don't find this as a grave problem, since I see the folder as an exposed database which I shouldn't muck with. What's your gripe about it?
- eviks 2y agoAn exposed database you can manage/navigate with better tools like your file manager or the Everything search engine without having to launch a much less frequently used app
- ajsnigrutin 2y agoAnd not just that, it's also future-proof, so if calibre ever "dies", and you find your old backups 10, 20 years after, you'll still be able to get all the books out! This is not true for many programs, even opensource, where data gets stored in many different obscure ways that cannot be retrieved/restored later, sometimes even if the software still exists (but is a few versions newer and doesn't recognize old formats anymore).
- bayindirh 2y agoMine is formatted as $AUTHOR/$BOOK_NAME/$FILES. I don't think it's very hard to navigate. If I use a find tool on that structure it can pinpoint any book, AFAICS. Note: This is what Calibre does after I import them via its front end. No secret sauce.

- skydhash 2y agoYou don't have too. You can actually script something out as the actual database is sqlite and the information is replicated inside each book folder.
- poulpy123 2y agoI already have my files sorted and organised
- Macha 2y agoI'd settle for at least not converting kanji to pinyin
