Collapsible Folder View for handouts, macros, characters, etc.

I understand the tag system and I definitely appreciate it but at the end of the day having to search for a tag that still leaves me either sorting through every other item of that type to find the specific one or not able to see other items because I've narrowed my search too far. Would it be possible to let us create categories or folders within each grouping? In this method perhaps I have a Kobold folder for all my kobolds but I am searching for the hurler I can open my kobold folder then sort based on the ranged tag and I will see only my kobolds with ranged tags. Otherwise in order to achieve the same level of organization I have to rank every character sheet by rank/level, race, role such as "lvl12-Kobold-Hurler" as a tag rather than a folder option. This way I can create sub folders that aren't instead sub tags that I have to remember the exact way and case they were typed in to use. That's the other issue, if I currently search based on a tag and misspell it it fails to sort while a folder would be a simple option to organize and remove user error.

Yes
I was just coming here to suggest this. +1 vote for me. This would make organizing a lot easier. Then I could have a Players folder for PCs, an NPC folder for NPCs, and separate folders for encounters. Organization would be so much easier rather than trying to organize everything by the name field such as (1-1), (1-2), (a), (NPC), (PC), etc.

Tags.
Also... you do realize that you could have just typed hurler in the top search bar and it would have brought it right up. No tags or folders required.
I would certainly love to see a folder view incorporated. Tags just don't do it for me, although I can certainly use them -- while waiting on a folder system....

I guess my biggest issue with Tags is you are forced to memorize your tag list in order to look for something. If I forget that a month, 6 months, a year ago I created a tag for ETU-Savage-Worlds-NPCs I could spend all day looking through the myriad tokens I have for other games trying to find my tokens for that game. Tags aren't bad, but they are no substitute for folders.

Tags aren't bad, but they are no substitute for folders. When searching the journal, you can click the tag button on the right side of the search box to bring up a list of your tags. Unfortunately that's not available when searching your library images, though.
+1 a Foldersystem would be realy nice
Yeah, I think its safe to give up hope. This idea has been around for a long time, and ignored for just as long. +1 to folder organization, in case anybody is counting.
I use folders in everything but roll20. Tags are really annoying.
