[Feature Request] Grouping of Blogs in the Manager

[sbobbo]

This has been an enhancement that I have been wanting for a while, so I figured I might as well bring it up while I'm thinking about it again.

Would it be possible to group blogs together into folders or apply some sort of label to them inside the program? For a folder, I'm envisioning like a sorta free structure where blogs can be moved to, which can be expanded or collapsed. But a single label would work as well, as long as there is a column for it that they can be sorted by.

Mostly, I am interested in being able to sort/group them inside the program itself, but an added bonus would definitely be to have all blogs with a folder/label also have their download folders be inserted into a subfolder of the Blogs folder. So, for all blogs in the "Wallpapers" folder/label, they would download to ".\Blogs\Wallpapers{BlogName}", and all blogs in the "Food" folder/label would download to ".\Blogs\Food{BlogName}". This would allow for easier sorting after downloading everything.

I would like to chime in and agree this kind of feature would be very desirable. I posted the following in the common blog which is a similar request to this.

I know I requested this feature before, but in reading what I wrote it even confuses me.

The two features I requested was in how the reader saves the files into folders.
Currently it saves the files into a master folder which is set in the "settings" function. This allows all blogs to be saved in this master folder by the blog name.

I would like the ability to assign any blog to a "group" folder so that the file structure would be"
master/group1/blog1
master/group1/blog2
master/blog3
master/blog4
master/blog5
master/group2/blog6
master/group2/blog7

This would allow similar blogs to be grouped into a group folder by each blog.

The implementation of this could be a "group" column in the blog list where a special "group" folder could be added. Much like you do the "tags".

The other feature that would be useful would be to be able to select by blog if you wanted the files to be also placed into additional sub folders by the file extent.

Again this would be another field added to the blog list and would only need to be a checkbox kind of thing to enable or disable placing the file into a sub folder of the file extent in that blogs folder. Here is an example:

master/group1/blog2/gif
master/group1/blog2/jpg
master/group1/blog2/png
master/group1/blog2/mov

Having the ability to set these by individual blog would give much greater control on how the files were saved.

Thanks for a great program.

@tringate If you wanted to separate by file types, thats an easy fix.
Simply do a "sort by files" in the master folder, and then apply it to all sub folders.
