Subfolders possible for "My Library" presets?

Over the years, I've made 100s of scene subsets of props, tweaked sets, etc.  Can you make subfolders?  Example:  My Library > Scene Subsets > Actors  or...  My Library  > Scene Subsets > Props

Just a thought.  Searched but results were how to make a ss -- nothing about organizing them.  ;)

    You can make as many, and as deep, as you like, but you will lose metadata (content type, like Scene, or Materials; compatibility, and any that you defined yourself, etc.) if and when you move the files. You could re-save them in the right place, or edit the metadata after, if you want it back.

    If you use the right-click options in the Daz Studio Content Library to cut-and-paste them to new locations the metadata will be preserved.

    Not in my experience. Has this behaviour changed since v4.12?

    I must admit I haven't tried for ages, it used to work.

    Sort of embarrassing..  Seems so obvious once someone points it out.  Right click, cut & paste quite easy.

    Not sure what meta-data actually means.  (Data about data?)  Was able to assign category and then "Show in Smart Content" 

    reboot

    Wallah!  There's my subsets for "Actor_ Alex8_Altern" and "Props_AlsaceMisc01"

    (Test done in DS 4.12 btw.  Still learning my way around in 4.16 /G8.1)

    Thanks, both of you, for helping me out. yes
