Basically, you should be able to select ONE folder
from the "Start" button that would contain LOTS of
subfolders. All files inside it all (folder+subfolders)
would be treated as if all of them were in the same
folder, so bttb could separate by file, not by folders.

Example: I have a folder called "Isos", inside this folder
i have lots of subfolders, each one from a game or
anything else, and inside each one of these subfolders,
i'd have files about 20MB big. Bttb would group all
files inside them and start scanning, giving me an
output like, all files inside the "quake" subfolder, all
files inside the "doom" subfolder, all files inside
the "unreal" folder, and files .rar, .r00 to .r15 from
the "half life" folder for the cd1, and so on.

That would work good with some kind of priority rules,
i'll request that as a feature too.

    You can get that behaviour by making sure BTTB scans on the
    lowest subfolder-level available.
    Ie. (if I understand you correctly) :

    Folder/ Subfolder-level1/ Subfolder-level2 / file1
    Folder/ Subfolder-level1/ Subfolder-level2 /
    Subfolder-level3/ file2
    Folder/ Subfolder-level1/ Subfolder-level2 /
    Subfolder-level3/ file3
    etc..
    This means BTTB should scan 3 sublevels deep. You can
    achieve this by putting "Splitting depth" to level 3. Or
    just max it out to 255 or so and let the program decide.
    In this case, it will "ignore" the subdirectories, and
    process file1, file2 and file3 directly.
    To make a short story long: it's already in :)
