Can it be possible to have multiple source folders?

Describe your suggested feature

This is something I've only known J2K to do even before the rework of how source folders functioned. This feature(?) really important and helpful for me because of the device I use. Sorry if this is confusing, but my e-reader will show all supported book files on the library's home screen which is almost what I want but that means it'll show all of the chapters and it doesn't let you exclude file types or remove them from the library in bulk.

My workaround for this has been to put every book's "chapter 1" in the J2K's local folder and then put the rest of the chapters in the Tachiyomi's local folder since J2K can read both folders and just merges them together in the J2K app. That way my library's home screen isn't cluttered with "[name of manga], ch.2, ch.3" and so on. It only shows the 1st chapter with it's metadata. That's also why there isn't a manga title for ch.1 in the image for J2K because it's an epub.

Again, sorry if this sounds weird. If it helps, this is basically what I mean. Dear Gene's chapter 1 is the only thing showing in the library while the other chapters aren't since they're in a different folder but J2K shows all chapters together because it can read both folders. Is this something that can be done with the new file system in the future? 865482 87534
