I hope there would be a feature that will automatically add subfolders as subgroups when importing books from folders.

Thanks.
Not the solution, but a data tool that can later be used:

(only works during add, so you is outta luck for those in already)
Sinc I only added from folders from my initial Library Load (waaay back in 2010), AND my file system was Author/Title, there is not much sub-whatever available, if any. Maybe for Magazines or Manga?
