Support for Subfolder Organization in Local Sources

[MartsTech]

Describe your suggested feature

Currently, the app requires all CBZ/ZIP files for local manga sources to be placed directly in the main folder, along with the cover.jpg and ComicInfo.xml files. Unfortunately, the app does not support the use of subfolders within the main directory. When subfolders are used to organize chapters (e.g., by volume or arc), the app mistakenly treats these subfolders as chapters, rather than recognizing the CBZ/ZIP files inside.

This limitation makes it difficult to manage larger collections, as users often prefer to organize their chapters by subfolders (e.g., Volume 1, Volume 2), keeping their library structured and easy to navigate.

Other details

I propose adding support for subfolders within the main local source directory. When the app encounters a folder inside the primary local source folder, it should:

1. Recursively search for CBZ/ZIP files within subfolders.
2. Treat the files found in these subfolders as individual chapters, while ignoring the folders themselves.

This enhancement would allow users to better organize their local collections, maintaining a cleaner structure without disrupting how chapters are displayed in the app.

it's useful for some but not for majority, if you want to manage larger collections you better of using app like Librera...
