Perhaps Minimserver could then similarly generate them to allow users to drill down to folders

In Windows Explorer it has both Path and Folder Path for any file not just music files. The Folder Path is the path of the folder that the file is in, the Path is the full path including the file itself. But these are not music metadata tags, they are representation of the filesystem, i.e within Kinksy they match the Folder View.

So you already have access to the Folder Path values via the folder view. The filename itself is hidden and I think this is by design since UPNP is meant to be a separation from the physical location of the files.

But Im sure you could use MP3Tag to add a new field which you populate with the filename, then you could use this within mimimserver/kinsky. You can also do this with my own Jaikoz application which provides a very easy way to mass copy folder/filename to a field.
So, if I use an application to create another tag called say mytag and copy the information in path to it, then mytag will be available in Minimserver configuration? Available where though?
