If you are sitting at your PC there may be no gain. However I can think of a number of scenarios where this might be useful to me:
- working on another machine where the folder is on a shared resource.
- having the folder in Dropbox so I can easily add books even if away from home.
However since both these scenarios mean I will have to have left Calibre running on a PC I am not sure how often they would actually apply.
I think that whether this feature is of any use to you is likely to depend on your workflow. It is obviously not a key requirement for most people or the feature would have arrived much earlier.
