Yes -- initially (before 1.0) TM only supported adding single files  
and grouping these files. Then folder references were added, which  
was a bit of an afterthought to be honest, but really the much better  
approach.

2.0 will have an improved file browser where one can descend into a  
folder, which makes it much easer to focus on a single group (sub  
folder).

As for splitting, I have yet to add this (so no promises about the  
actual result), but I strive for having the file browser, the text  
editing view, and the HTML output window all 3 components which can  
be docked into a main window, teared off, and duplicated as the user  
desires, so one can mix and match these things in one or more windows  
-- but as said, I have yet to actually implement this splitting  
functionality, my main problem currently is with the (visual)  
interface to this (I don’t want to end up having half a dozen knobs  
here and there to support this, and I also have some aesthetic  
alignment issues).
