 * Hello, running PHP 8.4 and WordPress 6.94 there is no option showing to select
   a parent folder when creating a new folder. I attempted with both views and worked
   through settings and placed focus on already created folders, and nothing would
   create a nested folder.

 * Hi! Thanks for the report — in Media Folder Manager you won’t see a separate “
   Parent folder” dropdown.
 * For nested folders, the parent is set automatically based on what folder you 
   currently have selected in the sidebar:
    1. Open Media Library (`upload.php`).
    2. In the left sidebar, click the folder you want to be the parent (example: <code
       class=””>TT).
    3. Now click New Folder.
    4. The new folder will be created inside the currently selected folder (so your
       <code class=””>qq becomes child of <code class=””>TT).
 * If you click All Files (id <code class=””>0) and create a folder, it will create
   at the root level.
 * If you’re still not getting nested behavior, please confirm you’re running the
   latest plugin version (we added the nested auto-parent behavior in v1.0.3). A
   quick cache refresh (Ctrl+F5) and a page reload after updating should also help.

 * Your update has made it easy to create nested folders. Prior to the update, it
   was not possible to see what folder you were in. Now with the clear indicator,
   this looks like a 5 STAR PLUGIN!
   I am able to easily add images in singles or
   bulk with Shift key selection as an option. I have tested many folder plugins,
   This one appears amazing! I will use for a week or so and then review!
