No, this won't work. graphics.sty itself looks up the graphics files  
to be included, as far as I understand the code.

\graphicspath takes a *list* of arguments. It's proper use would be,  
remembering your folders' structure:

	\graphicspath{{FolderA},{FolderB}}	% take it from either this, or  
that, or somewhere else ...

I am still a bit flexible so *I* can adjust myself or my customs to  
kind of inadequacies of a software -- up to some extent! Your  
extension has some charm. Do you need more motivation to propose it  
to the TeX programmers?
