WT told me that REAPER doesn't support subfolders at data/toolbar_icons

Having support for this would make it easier to handle larger amounts of custom icons and help organizating them according to use case for example.

Now I understand that it's a bit of an issue to figure out what to do when there's a file with same name in the subfolder than in the upper folder etc (it's turtles all the way down) and handling this might make the load times for the themes longer, but you could for example:

Find all the files in the folder structure, sort them according to name, if duplicates, select one with the same path as before this weird duplicate emerged, but do inform user that they've done goofed and should fix this.

OR

Just have two icons with the same name right next to each other in the atlas and just use internal ID for differentiating them since they have different paths, thus they're loaded at different times. But please do tell the user they've done goofed... give out a list of duplicate files with paths for example?
