Is there any chance you can add an option to allow splitting/table of contents using the old method with ComicInfo.xml?

<Pages>
<Page Image="0" Bookmark="Cover" />
<Page Image="1" Bookmark="Characters" />
<Page Image="3" Bookmark="Ch 1" />
<Page Image="67" Bookmark="Ch 2" />
<Page Image="117" Bookmark="Ch 3" />
<Page Image="165" Bookmark="Bonus Chapter" />
<Page Image="171" Bookmark="Back Cover" />
</Pages>

The reason I ask is because using the folder structure
1. gets rid of the ability to use unicode in the chapter name for special characters
2. forces chapter order to be alphabetical rather than number based.

For example, if I have a book with the following:

1. Cover
2. Characters
3. Chapter 1
4. Chapter 2
5. Bonus Chapter
6. Back Cover

Then the order due to OS folder limitations will be

Back Cover
Bonus Chapter
Chapter 1
Chapter 2
Characters
Cover

If I want to preserve the order, then I have to add arbitrary numbers in front of the folder name, which doesn't look great imo.

0 Cover
1 Characters
2 Chapter 1
3 Chapter 2
4 Bonus Chapter
5 Back Cover

I know there were issues with the Image="#" causing indexing problems when there were split pages and other factors, but I was able to just change the Image="#" to account for that.
