Hello Jaap,

In this case, I would vote for
(1) keeping the file hierarchy with ISO filenames, so that
browsing/searching into the Calendar file hierarchy is easier from
external tools (eg sed/grep/awk...). This is another "feature" I like a lot.
(2) modifying the index view for calendar files, in order to display a
shorter name for the ease of reading.
In this case, we wouldn't need any modification in the tag view, which
would display the long ISO names.

best regards,
Damien
