CVI project: how to add more than one level of folders?

If you right-click on the project name, you can add a folder with the item "Add Folder...".

If you right-click on one of these folders, you can add some files.

 

But how can you create a sublfolder of one of these folders?

 

As a matter of fact every large project has a lot of files (sources, ini-files, images, icons, ...), so I think it's quite common having them saved into different folders and subfolders. If you don't add these files to the project, you can add them to the distribution kit browsing into your hard disk, but in this situation the absolute path is taken. And if you move all your project from a PC to another one you won't be able to recreate the distribution kit without errors if you don't save the whole project to the same folder you use in the first PC.

And this is a really big problem.

For files explicitly added to the project, instead, the relative path is used, and this is OK.
