I have no idea of Kovid's current thoughts on this matter and whether or not a patch that removes this restriction would be acceptable to him. He may be reluctant to have functionality in calibre that is dependent on the installation of an optional plugin.
Thanks jhowell, I have perfectly understood your answer.

Is it not possible in the KFX import plug-in at the end of "Add book from single directory" to force calibre to rescan the device (instead of eject and reattach the device)? In this way the colums "On Device" and "In library" would be updated automatically.
