Cannot be used if 'Always show poster window' is enabled
This option is useful when you want to create icons only when the exact match is found such in cases where you have a lot of folders to process, and you don't want to see the poster window for each folder or select from ambiguous titles for basically keeping FoliCon on autopilot.

Subfolder processing
Process media in subfolders
Default: disabled
With the help of Subfolder processing, one can scan for media within nested directories. Suppose your directory structure looks like this: Movies\The Dark Knight\, Movies\Action\John Wick\, FoliCon would first check all media files within the Movies directory, then it will move down hierarchy and explore the Action subdirectory and finally John Wick subdirectory.
This can prove to be quite convenient for handling collections or series.
