This app has been incredibly nice to use, but I always have trouble figuring out the configuration with it. My problem here is with making a filter for a folder with subfolders in it, specifically for albums (ex. https://imgur.com/PkiN7ki). When I make a filter where it selects said "Albums" folder or its path (ex.https://imgur.com/a/rHQIAWl), it doesn't scan for subfolders, only stuff directly inside the "Albums" folder, resulting in nothing appearing when I put the filter on one of my tabs in the app. Is there a way to fix this? If so I would much appreciate the help.

quick note: the way I solved this before was just to make a filter excluding all other folders I had, but now as I have a second one of these types of folders I cannot have both at the same time.

Based on the second screenshot, the filter is only looking for tracks where the parent folder contains "Albums". Therefore, you're correct that it's not going to find any deeper folders, unless the name of that folder also contains the word "Albums".
What you need is a rule like "Path contains \Albums\", because Path includes the entire folder tree rather than just the parent folder.
To do this with multiple folders, as long as the rule is to match ANY, you can just use multiple "contains" rules:
Path contains "\Albums1\"
Path contains "\Albums2\"
etc

Ah! That makes so much sense now! Thank you very much for your help, this has made all my filters much much simpler.
