Make folder monitoring context-sensitive
I think this can be addressed by setting a new watch folder for each artist but it is not a very elegant solution. This will become a real issue if #36 is implemented: you move a bunch of files to the Cosplay category folder within the watch folder and HP will treat all the Cosplay galleries as chapters of the Cosplay series. It also messes up the metadata gatherer.

How so?
This feature is something I've been thinking about myself too. That is, detecting if a file is a chapter when it was moved into a gallery folder. I'd like to put it on the to-do list for now. Some time I'll make the folder monitoring more advanced, and this will be part of the implementation.

Well, since it is a folder with the only the artist's name on them, HP shows them on the library as Artist. The "chapters", the individual items, do not show up.
And when you send them to the metadata gatherer, what will happen? It won't find any gallery with only "Kitani Sai", worst case scenario it finds a pixiv collection and wrongly tags that.
Hmm, I understand. The metadata "gatherer" does not use any title/folder-name or anything like that when searching. It basically just generates a hash from an image from the first chapter of a gallery and uses that to search with. This will be improved on soon (see Roadmap).
What I recommend is turning the option Treat subfolders as galleries to on in settings when importing your collection, if you want standalone galleries.
