The library structure may lead to strong redundancy

Working quite a lot with PunchBOX I really love the sound and the features of your plug.
In the meantime I use it not only for BD but also for SN, HH and CL and it works really good
But ... and it is quite a big but!
You definitively know how important it is to be able to quickly browse through the sample library and how it is essential to quickly load samples in order to test how you want to layer the samples.
This is why you took care to create a very nice browser.
But to me the library structure of your browser has a big downside: the fact that each module has its own library.
I am sure that there are important reasons why you did this but you are surely aware that to be able to have acces to all samples in each module in order to be able to create any kind of layering it is necessary to copy all the samples in each module library!
It means you get a 4 times redundant sample library!
In fact this is 5 times because your system has to import first from the original!
As I previously said I now use PunchBOX also for SN, HH and CL, you can them imagine that at some point it begins to be a quite huge library!
Of course I am aware that today space place is not a too big problem as it once was but I think it should not be necessary to have 5 times the same library.
Is there any chance that you reconsider this structure?
Another point is that you once explained that it is not possible to create user folder.
It would be great and would help a lot if you would allow to create user folder inside of the user library!
Best regards
