Obviously. It would also be very confusing since users are (rightly) told they have no business nosing about in the folder structure
I must admit that I don't understand why people worry so much about the path length. Lots of entries in my library are cut off, but since calibre handles everything about it, why would I care?
However, if you are bored one day and decide to implement this function I guess that quite a few users would find a use for it.
