Or if someone could point me at a simple plug in that I could hack.
This wouldn't actually be very hard.
  1. Start with the example GUI plugin from the calibre documentation.
  2. Use self.gui.library_view.get_selected_ids() to get the ids of selected books
  3. Loop on that list calling self.gui.current_db.path(book_id, index_is_id=True)
  4. Use ViewLog (from calibre.gui2.dialogs.message_box import ViewLog) to display the list of book dirs.
