I understand what you are requesting. The code to handle multiple contentDir settings is quite complex, and the code to handle folder view is also quite complex. It's very unlikely that I would rewrite these two pieces of complex code to support what you are describing.

The right solution is to browse using tags instead of (or as well as) folders. This provides much more flexibility to browse your library in many different ways using the Intelligent Browsing capabilities of MinimServer.

Another option if you are running MinimServer on a Linux machine is to use symbolic links to create a customized view of a subset of your library. It should be possible to write a script that scans a set of folders to find all their subfolders and creates an aggregated flat list of symbolic links to these subfolders in some other "custom view" folder. You can then use the "custom view" folder as the contentDir value to get what you want.
