[feature request] Handle folders in scene files

[scorchio]

I've started to import an existing writing project into Longform which has a structure like this:

• part 1 (folder)
  • start.md
  • something happens.md
  • something else happens.md
  • closing part 1.md
• part 2 (folder)
  • another start
  • ...

...you get the idea.

Not sure if I'm understanding things correctly, but it seems to me that Longform assumes a flat file hierarchy inside sceneFolder. No matter how I wanted to add the files to the index file's scenes list (I mean with or without the folder name and the slash), it did not work. This would be great to support.

After you have added the "scenes" to the project or draft, you can drag the child scenes right to indent them and nest them under the parents.

You are correct. Treating vault subfolders as organizational within a Longform project introduces some complexity that I'm just not prepared to deal with, at least at the current moment. As @pdworkman notes, you can drag scenes or use the indentation commands to adjust them relative to others and simulate folders.

@kevboh When I finish the big brunt of work I'm focused on now, I might come back to address this. Would you be happy assigning it to me?
