Summary: Retain Directory Structure option not working

Initial Comment:
When Normalising or Converting directories with sub-directories, the output records are being saved in top level output directory, without the originating sub-directory structure being retained, even though the Retain Directory Strcture option is selected.

Message:
Just to confirm that when you 'convert' a bunch of directories in Xena
6.0.1 and select 'retain directory structure', everything is still copied
to a flat structure.

Message:
This issue has been split.  Feature request 3505603 has been created to
cover the mentioned desire to allow Normalisation to result in Xena files
with the same directory structure as the input.  Please now consider this
bug to only apply to Correcting the functionality of Convert to retain the
directory structure on output.

Message:
Tested and confirmed that this is always a flat output.  This is a quite
plain bug in the case of conversion.  In the case of normalisation it is a
bit more complex.  In this case what is happening here is that the "Retain
Directory Structure" is being used by Xena for returning files in their
original directory structure when they are Exported.  Thus normalised files
are always being output in a flat single directory output when normalised
but when exported they are exported back to their original structure.  This
may best be solved by adding an additional option.  Perhaps a sub-option
like:

X Retain Directory Structure
---- X For Export Only (Flat Structure for Normalisation)
